An overview of analytical methods and occurrence of benzotriazoles, benzothiazoles and benzenesulfonamides in the environment

Excellent performance of copper based metal organic framework in adsorptive removal of toxic sulfonamide antibiotics from wastewater

“…Among these sulfonamide drugs, SCP is one of the most commonly used antibiotic in cattle farming either to treat bacterial infections and/or as a feed stock additives and husbandry because of its low cost and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. As a result, the discharge of SCP in water has been increased in recent years [9][10][11][12][13][14]. Due to high consumption of SCP and discharge into wastewater, it is highly recommended to treat the wastewater to comply with local and international environmental regulations.…”

Degradation of benzotriazole by a novel Fenton-like reaction with mesoporous Cu/MnO 2 : Combination of adsorption and catalysis oxidation

“…Industrial applications of BZA include as corrosion inhibitors for copper and silver, cooling and hydraulic fluids, antifreeze, and aircraft deicing fluid [2][3][4]. Through its widespread application, considerable amounts of BZA have been released into the aquatic environment in direct discharge of effluents from industrial plants [5] and from urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) [6]. The presence of BZA in the aqueous environment is harmful to ecosystems and human health [7].…”

“…In order to overcome these drawbacks, the heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction is considered as a more practical and efficient alternative technique [17]. In addition, many studies have investigated iron-free 6 catalysts, such as copper [18,19], manganese [20], and cerium [21], for Fenton-like reactions to broaden the pH range and avoid sludge formation.…”

Fast low-pressurized microwave-assisted extraction of benzotriazole, benzothiazole and benezenesulfonamide compounds from soil samples

“…Among the various classes of environmental pollutants, benzotriazole (BTR), benzothiazole (BT) and benzenesulfonamide (BSA) derivates are important emerging contaminants and increasing attention is being devoted to their occurrence, behaviour and fate [1]. These compounds are high-volume production chemicals, largely used in industrial and household applications.…”

“…These compounds are high-volume production chemicals, largely used in industrial and household applications. In particular, BTRs are mainly employed as anticorrosive additives in several anti-icing fluids and as silver protectors in dishwater detergents; BTs as vulcanisation accelerators and biocides; BSAs as plasticizers and intermediate synthesis products for pesticides, drugs and artificial sweeteners, like saccharin [1].…”
