“…Regional variations in antibiotics concentrations and compositions accounted for the discrepancies in removal efficiency. Significantly, more total antibiotics were detected in the effluents of North Shaanxi WWTPs than effluents of other regions of the 51 Shaanxi province WWTPs studied, with tetracycline and macrolides predominating; this correlates with the removal efficiency of the antibiotics [186].…”

China still dominates all other nations as the world's most significant producer and consumer of antibiotics. Antibiotic misuse and overuse have been qualitatively and quantitatively documented in China recently. Antibiotic misuse has alarmed the Chinese population because some antibiotics persist in the environment and adversely affect human health and other non-target organisms. Antibiotic priority setting has been considered the best monitoring tool that is also affordable and time-efficient. Therefore, this article aims to assess the status methods of antibiotic prioritization within ten years ago years (2012–2022) in China and its prevalence and removal by conventional wastewater treatment facilities. Twenty-six priority antibiotics in China may need more attention, according to a recent prioritization assessment. According to other nations, the outcomes of prioritization vary from one nation to another. However, the same antibiotics are frequently reported despite applying various prioritization techniques (method). Their prevalence and frequent detection in China’s environmental media indicate that conventional treatment plants cannot remove them from effluents altogether. Their removal patterns vary from wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) to another and are affected by different factors, including pH, physical–chemical properties of the antibiotic compound, temperature, sludge retention time (SRT), hydraulic retention time (HRT), and the amount of microorganism present.

“…TC and CIP removal was investigated by changing the starting pH (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11), biosorbent dose (0.25-5 g L -1 ), contact time (0-120 min), and starting antibiotic concentration (10-150 mg L -1 ). For this purpose, 50-mL flasks were filled with 30 mL of TC or CIP solution at different concentrations and shaken in an incubator at room temperature.…”

“…Conventional treatment processes proved to be ineffective when the antibiotic concentration in water is between 10 and 100 mg L -1 [5]. Methods such as filtration, coagulation, biological treatment, or advanced oxidation processes have been used, but each of them has their own limitations including high cost, heavy equipment, and tricky handling [6][7][8], thus leading to a higher demand for environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and economically sustainable technologies.…”

Adsorption of Tetracycline and Ciprofloxacin from Aqueous Solution on Raw Date Palm Waste

et al. 2023

Raw date palm waste was investigated as an adsorbent to remove tetracycline (TC) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) from water. Influence of pH, biosorbent dose, starting antibiotic concentration, contact time, temperature, and concentrations of different salts were examined. The pseudo‐second‐order model provided the best fit to the experimental data, while Langmuir and Dubinin‐Radushkevich isotherms were found to be the most suitable for TC and CIP adsorption at equilibrium, respectively. Thermodynamic parameters indicated that the process is spontaneous and endothermic. These findings suggest that this waste could be a cost‐effective and eco‐friendly adsorbent to remove antibiotics from wastewater.

“…The importance of the treatment of infectious diseases and the protection of public health security makes antibiotics widely used, [1] which causes increased multi-drug resistance and pathogenicity of bacteria. [2,3] Take Norfloxacin(NFX), [4] for example, it is an important fluoroquinolone antibiotic that has been widely used to treat bacterial infections. Norfloxacin exhibits high antibacterial activity against aerobic Gram-negative bacilli and can effectively inhibit bacterial proliferation.…”

Herein, a bimetallic functional hollow nanoreactor defined as (Co@SiO2/Cu‐X) was successfully constructed and endowed with a hollow configuration composed of mesoporous N‐doping C‐Silica hybrid shell encapsulated ultrafine Cu and Co metallic species. Such a configuration allows for the efficient diffusion and open reaction space of big contaminant molecules. The catalytic synergy of exposed Co‐Cu bimetals and the easy accessibility of electron‐rich contaminants by polar N doping sites triggered surface affinity make the optimal Co@SiO2/Cu‐6 afford an excellent catalytic norfloxacin mineralization activity (7 min, kabs=0.744 min‐1) compared to Cu‐free Co@SiO2‐6 (kabs=0.493 min‐1) and Co‐6 (kabs=0.378 min‐1) Benefiting from the above unique advantages, Co@SiO2/Cu‐6 show excellent removal performance in degrading different pollutants (carbamazepine, oxytetracycline, tetracycline, and bisphenol A) and persistent recycled stability in removing NFX. In addition, by virtue of the excellent photothermal properties, interfacial solar water evaporation application by Co@SiO2/Cu‐6 was further explored to reach the regeneration of cleanwater (1.595 kg m‐2 h‐1, 97.51%). The integration of pollutant mineralization and solar water evaporation by creating the monolith evaporation by anchoring the Co@SiO2/Cu‐6 onto the tailored melamine sponge allows the regeneration of cleanwater (1.6 kg·m‐2·h‐1) and synchronous pollutant removal (NFX, 95%, 60 min), which provides potential possibility the treatment of complicated wastewater.
