“…Enhanced hydrolysis demonstrates exceptional efficacy due to its selective destruction of antibiotic functional groups responsible for their potency. Notably, this approach has been successfully implemented in full-scale pharmaceutical wastewater treatment facilities in China (Figure 3) (20)(21)(22)(23)(24). The similar hydrolysis-based method has also been adapted for the treatment of solid waste from fermentative antibiotic production, which offers notable implications for the disposal of antibiotic fermentation residues (13,25).…”
