“…Antibiotics kill or inhibit bacteria [2], which can subsequently lead to their persistence in biological wastewater treatment process [3]. An alternative method investigated for antibiotics removal from wastewater is the adsorption technique [4]. Activated carbon adsorption has been recognized as the most effective method, producing good-quality effluents that have low concentrations of dissolved organic compounds in wastewater from pharmaceutical manufacturing [4].…”

“…An alternative method investigated for antibiotics removal from wastewater is the adsorption technique [4]. Activated carbon adsorption has been recognized as the most effective method, producing good-quality effluents that have low concentrations of dissolved organic compounds in wastewater from pharmaceutical manufacturing [4]. Due to the high operational cost of the traditional activated carbon adsorption techniques, many low cost adsorbents have been used to remove various pollutants [5][6][7][8].…”

Abstract:The occurrence of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in wastewater has drawn great attention. Adsorption of widely used fluoroquinolone antibiotics (enrofloxacin and ofloxacin) in wastewater using bamboo biochar was investigated. More than 99% of fluoroquinolone antibiotics were removed from the synthetic wastewater through adsorption. Adsorption capacities of bamboo biochar slightly changed when pH increased from 3.0 to 10.0. The adsorption capacity of bamboo biochar increased sharply when the initial concentration of enrofloxacin or ofloxacin increased from 1 to 200 mg L

A novel sewage-sludge derived composite material was developed for the adsorptive removal of organic pollutants from water. In this study a batch adsorption study was carried out to examine the kinetics of antibiotics adsorption by this composite material. A pseudo-second order kinetics model fits the data extremely well, suggesting that chemical adsorption, rather than physical adsorption, is likely the main mechanism of the separation process.

“…Traditional wastewater treatment methods, such as conventional activated sludge (CAS) [10], membrane processes [11,12], activated carbon adsorption treatment [13][14][15][16], cannot effectively remove or inactivate antibiotics. Chlorination is a powerful and effective method to disinfect wastewater, which is used worldwide.…”

This research focused on determining the effectiveness of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma as an alternative to advanced oxidation processes (AOP) for antibiotic removal in solution. For this study, 20 mM (6.988 g/L) solutions of ampicillin were treated with a floating electrode dielectric barrier discharge (FE-DBD) plasma for varying treatment times. The treated solutions were analyzed primarily using mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The preliminary product formed was Ampicillin Sulfoxide, however, many more species are formed as plasma treatment time is increased. Ampicillin was completely eliminated after five minutes of air-plasma treatment. The primary mechanism of ampicillin degradation by plasma treatment is investigated in this study.
