Efficient removal of antibiotic in single and binary mixture of nickel by electrocoagulation process: Hydrogen generation and cost analysis

Investigation of selected physico-chemical quality parameters in industrial wastewater by electrocoagulation process, Ethiopia

“…Basic hydroxyl group and corresponding OH stretching was identified at 3430 cm − 1 for aluminum hydroxide/oxyhydroxides phases. Similar results have been reported elsewhere [ 26 – 29 ]. From FTIR analysis of the Al electrode by-product chemical speciation of this amorphous phase can be aluminum hydroxide and/or aluminum oxyhydroxides.…”

Bismuth-based nanostructured photocatalysts for the remediation of antibiotics and organic dyes

“…Each of these techniques has demonstrated varying levels of effectiveness and drawbacks that restrict their widespread use. For instance, due to deficiencies such as the formation of harmful by-products and incomplete removal of organic pollutants, traditional water treatment methods such as sedimentation, filtration, and precipitation, in particular, are believed to be ineffective [ 4 , 11 ]. As a result of the non-biodegradable and persistent nature of the majority of organic contaminants, some physicochemical treatment techniques, such as adsorption, are ineffective in removing them from water resources [ 11 ].…”

“…Numerous techniques have been employed to treat contaminated water and wastewater, including adsorption, bioremediation, precipitation, electrocoagulation, filtration, membrane separation, flocculation, centrifugation, advanced oxidation processes based on photocatalysis, and chemical coagulation [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Each of these techniques has demonstrated varying levels of effectiveness and drawbacks that restrict their widespread use.…”

Piezoelectric catalytic performance of BaTiO3 for sulfamethoxazole degradation

“…Various technologies have been studied for the removal of antibiotics from water and wastewater, including adsorption, 2 biodegradation, 3 photocatalysis, 4,5 electrocoagulation, 6 membrane separation, 7 etc. However, adsorption and membrane separation only concentrate or transfer waste without degrading it.…”

“…Even at low concentration levels (from ng L −1 to several mg L −1 ), persistent antibiotic residues in the aquatic environment may cause the indigenous microorganisms in natural water to gradually acquire antibiotic resistance, which poses a potential threat to public health. 1 Various technologies have been studied for the removal of antibiotics from water and wastewater, including adsorption, 2 biodegradation, 3 photocatalysis, 4,5 electrocoagulation, 6 membrane separation, 7 etc. However, adsorption and membrane separation only concentrate or transfer waste without degrading it.…”
