“…Jiang et al (2016) reported the fully inactivated antibiotic-resistance bacterium blaTEM-1 and aac(3)-II antibiotic-resistance genes via photoelectrocatalytic process, using semiconductor TiO 2 nanotubes [138]. Ren et al (2018) reported removing ARB and ARGs from a secondary wastewater effluent using a photocatalytic reactive membrane, using a polyvinylidene fluoride ultrafiltration membrane functionalized with nanoparticles of TiO 2 . The degradation efficiencies of the hybrid method were 97.82%, 20.66%, 99.45%, and 93.67% for floR, tetC, sul1, and intI1 in the plasmid [140].…”

Advances generated in medicine, science, and technology have contributed to a better quality of life in recent years; however, antimicrobial resistance has also benefited from these advances, creating various environmental and health problems. Several determinants may explain the problem of antimicrobial resistance, such as wastewater treatment plants that represent a powerful agent for the promotion of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARG), and are an important factor in mitigating the problem. This article focuses on reviewing current technologies for ARB and ARG removal treatments, which include disinfection, constructed wetlands, advanced oxidation processes (AOP), anaerobic, aerobic, or combined treatments, and nanomaterial-based treatments. Some of these technologies are highly intensive, such as AOP; however, other technologies require long treatment times or high doses of oxidizing agents. From this review, it can be concluded that treatment technologies must be significantly enhanced before the environmental and heath problems associated with antimicrobial resistance can be effectively solved. In either case, it is necessary to achieve total removal of bacteria and genes to avoid the possibility of regrowth given by the favorable environmental conditions at treatment plant facilities.

“…The synergistic effect of the hydrophilic and charged functional groups of GO-PEI contributed to the formation of dense hydration layer on the membrane surface, thereby reducing membrane fouling. Ren, Boo, et al (2018) fabricated a photocatalytic reactive membrane by functionalizing the PVDF UF membrane with titanium oxide (TiO 2 ) NP for removal of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs) from secondary wastewater effluent. The researchers reported the TiO 2 -modified PVDF membrane provided complete removal of ARB and effective photocatalytic degradation of ARGs and integrons.…”

“…Recently, efforts have been made to develop a new class of hybrid material which can not only use for detecting air pollution but also for monitoring water pollution. The degradation of organic pollutants and the inactivation of pathogenic bacteria in waste water are two of the most important issues for environmental remediation …”

A Green Route Strategy for the Synthesis of Multifunctional Polymer Nanocomposites for Environmental Sustainability

et al. 2019

Herein, one‐step green strategy is demonstrated for the synthesis of multifunctional polymer nanocomposite material using eco‐friendly thiol‐enephotopolymerization reaction at room temperature without use of any crosslinking agents. The greener route of thiol‐ene click reaction results in the formation of extremely high functional groups incorporated crosslinked surface as the thiol groups are reacted with each double bond in the nanograpite network, which is difficult to obtain by any other conventional method. In an attempt to encounter with environmental issues, this facile nanocomposite material can not only detect organic vapor in air but also degrades organic pollutant and microorganisms in water. The response time obtained by thiol‐ene functionalized nanocomposite (TE‐f‐NC) material is recorded as 6 seconds and the recovery is not more than 60 seconds towards formaldehyde vapors. The TE‐f‐NCs for detection of formaldehyde vapor will make a value‐added ultimate product and their commercialization will directly benefit to the society. Moreover, the photocatalytic activity of the obtained TE‐f‐NC material for the degradation of methyl blue (MB) under UV irradiation source was investigated, and found more than 50% of the initial concentration of MB dye degraded within first 3 min using TE‐f‐NC (0.6%) polymer nanocomposite. Along with photocatalytic activity, It is worth pointing out that the hybrid material can be readily used for antimicrobial activity toward various pathogenic microbes depicting the growth inhibition of microorganism by disrupting the cell walls.
