Abstract
Fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotics have become a subject of growing concern due to their increasing presence in the environment, particularly in the soil and groundwater. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the attributes, prevalence, ecotoxicity, and remediation approaches associated with FQs in environmental matrices. The paper discusses the physicochemical properties that influence the fate and transport of FQs in soil and groundwater, exploring the factors contributing to their prevalence in these environments. Furthermore, the ecotoxicological implications of FQ contamination in soil and aquatic ecosystems are reviewed, shedding light on the potential risks to environmental and human health. The latter part of the review is dedicated to an extensive analysis of remediation approaches, encompassing both in-situ and ex-situ methods employed to mitigate FQ contamination. The critical evaluation of these remediation strategies provides insights into their efficacy, limitations, and environmental implications. In this investigation, a correlation between FQ antibiotics and climate change is established, underlining its significance in addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The study further identifies and delineates multiple research gaps, proposing them as key areas for future investigational directions. Overall, this review aims to consolidate current knowledge on FQs in soil and groundwater, offering a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners engaged in environmental management and public health.

Alakayleh Z, Al-Akayleh F, Al-Remawi M, Mahyoob W, Hajar HAA, Esaifan M, Shawabkeh R. Utilizing olive leaves biomass as an efficient adsorbent for ciprofloxacin removal: characterization, isotherm, kinetic, and thermodynamic analysis. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT 2024; 196:562. [PMID: 38769235 DOI: 10.1007/s10661-024-12712-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
Olive leaves were utilized to produce activated biomass for the removal of ciprofloxacin (CIP) from water. The raw biomass (ROLB) was activated with sodium hydroxide, phosphoric acid, and Dead Sea water to create co-precipitated adsorbent (COLB) with improved adsorption performance. The characteristics of the ROLB and COLB were examined using SEM images, BET surface area analyzer, and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. COLB has a BET surface area of 7.763 m2/g, markedly higher than ROLB's 2.8 m2/g, indicating a substantial increase in adsorption sites. Through investigations on operational parameters, the optimal adsorption efficiency was achieved by COLB is 77.9% within 60 min, obtained at pH 6, and CIP concentration of 2 mg/mL. Isotherm studies indicated that both Langmuir and Freundlich models fit the adsorption data well for CIP onto ROLB and COLB, with R2 values exceeding 0.95, suggesting effective monolayer and heterogeneous surface adsorption. The Langmuir model revealed maximum adsorption capacities of 636 mg/g for ROLB and 1243 mg/g for COLB, highlighting COLB's superior adsorption capability attributed to its enhanced surface characteristics post-modification. Kinetic data fitting the pseudo-second-order model with R2 of 0.99 for ROLB and 1 for COLB, along with a higher calculated qe for COLB, suggest its modified surface provides more effective binding sites for CIP, enhancing adsorption capacity. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the adsorption process is spontaneous (∆Go < 0), and exothermic (∆Ho < 0), and exhibits a decrease in randomness (∆So < 0) as the process progresses. The ΔH° value of 10.6 kJ/mol for ROLB signifies physisorption, whereas 35.97 kJ/mol for COLB implies that CIP adsorption on COLB occurs through a mixed physicochemical process.

Abstract
Occurrence of contaminants in water is one of the major global concerns humanity is still facing today: most of them are extremely toxic and dangerous for human health, obliging their removal for a proper and correct process of sanitation. Among wastewater treatment technologies, in the view of development of sustainable and environmentally friendly processes, membrane adsorption has proved to be a fast and simple method in the removal of pollutants, offering great contaminants recovery percentages, fast adsorbent regeneration and recycle, and easy scale-up. Due to their large surface area and tunable chemistry, carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-based materials revealed to be extraordinary adsorbents, exceeding by far performances of ordinary organic and inorganic membranes such as polyethersulfone, polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, ceramics, currently employed in membrane technologies for wastewater treatment. In consideration of this, the review aims to summarize recent developments in the field of carbon nanotubes-based materials for pollutants recovery from water through adsorption processes. After a brief introduction concerning what adsorption phenomenon is and how it is performed and governed by using carbon nanotubes-based materials, the review discusses into detail the employment of three common typologies of CNTs-based materials (CNTs powders, CNTs-doped polymeric membranes and CNTs membranes) in adsorption process for the removal of water pollutants. Particularly focus will be devoted on the emergent category of self-standing CNTs membranes (buckypapers), made entirely of carbon nanotubes, exhibiting superior performances than CNTs and CNTs-doped polymeric membranes in terms of preparation strategy, recovery percentages of pollutants and regeneration possibilities. The extremely encouraging results presented in this review aim to support and pave the way to the introduction of alternative and more efficient pathways in wastewater treatment technologies to contrast the problem of water pollution.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:35824-35834.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of an innovative reusable adsorbent through adsorption-degradation sequence for antibiotic removal from water. The magnetite/mesoporous carbon adsorbent was prepared using a two-step method of (i) in situ impregnation of magnetite precursor during resorcinol formaldehyde polymerization and (ii) pyrolysis at elevated temperature (800 °C). XRD spectra confirmed that magnetite (Fe3O4) was the only iron oxide species present in the adsorbent, and thermogravimetric analysis revealed that its content was 10 wt%. Nitrogen sorption analysis showed that Fe3O4/carbon features a high fraction of mesopores (> 80 vol.%) and a remarkable specific surface area value (246 m2 g-1), outstanding properties for water treatment. The performance of the adsorbent was examined in the uptake of three relevant antibiotics. The maximum adsorption uptakes were ca. 76 mg g-1, ca. 70 mg g-1, and ca. 44 mg g-1 for metronidazole, sulfamethoxazole, and ciprofloxacin, respectively. All adsorption curves were successfully fitted with Langmuir equilibrium model. The regeneration of adsorbent was carried out using Fenton oxidation under ambient conditions. After three consecutive runs of adsorption-regeneration, Fe3O4/carbon maintained its performance almost unchanged (up to 95% of its adsorption capacity), which highlights the high reusability of the adsorbent.

Abstract
In alignment with the sustainable development goals (SDGs), recent trends in water management have been directed toward using environmentally friendly bio-based materials for removing contaminants. In this work, we prepared a biocomposite of chitosan (CS) intercalated into acid activated calcium bentonite (Bent). A thermally stable mesoporous CS-Bent composite was prepared with a zeta potential of 15.5 to -34.4 mV in the pH range of 2.22-10. The biocomposite successfully removed up to 99.2% and 50 mg/g of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin HCl (CPX) at pH 5.5 via electrostatic and hydrogen bonding forces. In a multi-component aqueous system of heavy metal and CPX, the composite was more selective to CPX than to the heavy metals and removal of CPX in this system was comparable to that in a single-component system. The composite also maintained its high adsorption efficiency in NaCl solutions which makes it suitable for treating fresh and saline solutions. The combination of CS and bent produced a biodegradable eco-friendly composite characterized with good thermal and surface properties along with efficient and selective adsorption performance.

Abstract
Antibiotics are widely prioritized pharmaceuticals frequently adopted in medication for addressing numerous ailments of humans and animals. However, the non-judicious disposal of ciprofloxacin (CIP) with concentration levels exceeding threshold limit in an aqueous environment has been the matter of growing concern nowadays. CIP is found in various waterways with appreciable mobility due to its limited decay in solidified form. Hence, the effective eradication strategy of this non-steroidal anti-inflammatory antibiotic from aqueous media is pivotal for preventing the users and the biosphere from their hazardous impacts. Reportedly several customary techniques like reverse osmosis, precipitation, cross-filtration, nano-filtration, ion exchange, microbial remediation, and adsorption have been employed to eliminate CIP from water. Out of them, adsorption is ascertained to be a potential method because of lesser preliminary investment costs, ease of operation, greater efficiency, less energy usage, reduced chemical and biological slurry production, and ready availability of precursor materials. Towards remediation of ciprofloxacin-laden water, plenty of researchers have used different adsorbents. However, the present-day challenge is opting the promising sorbent and its application towards industrial scale-up which is vital to get reviewed. In this article, adsorbents of diverse origins are reviewed in terms of their performances in CIP removal. The review stresses the impact of various factors on sorptive assimilation of CIP, adsorption kinetics, isotherms, mechanism of ionic interaction, contrivances for CIP detection, cost estimation and reusability assessments of adsorbents also that may endorse the next-generation investigators to decide the efficacious, environmental appealing and cost-competitive adsorbents for effective riddance of CIP from wastewater.

Abstract
To develop and characterize novel antibiotics removal biomaterial technology, we constructed three different bacteria-microalgae-fungi consortiums containing Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris), endophytic bacterium, Clonostachys rosea (C. rosea), Ganoderma lucidum, and Pleurotus pulmonarius. The results showed that under treatment with 50 mg/L of gibberellins (GAs), the three bacteria-microalgae-fungi symbionts had maximal growth rates (0.317 ± 0.030 d-1) and the highest removal efficiency for seven different antibiotics. Among them, C. vulgaris-endophytic bacterium-C. rosea symbiont had the best performance, with antibiotics removal efficiencies of 96.0 ± 1.4 %, 91.1 ± 7.9 %, 48.7 ± 5.1 %, 34.6 ± 2.9 %, 61.0 ± 5.5 %, 63.7 ± 5.6 %, and 54.3 ± 4.9 % for tetracycline hydrochloride, oxytetracycline hydrochloride, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, sulfadiazine, sulfamethazine, and sulfamethoxazole, respectively. Overall, the present study demonstrates that 50 mg/L GAs enhances biomass production and antibiotics removal efficiency of bacteria-microalgae-fungi symbionts, providing a framework for future antibiotics-containing wastewater treatment using three-phase symbionts.

Abstract
Trace level detection and efficient removal of arsenite ions (As (III)) and ciprofloxacin (CPR) antibiotic was achieved using hemicellulose based ratiometric fluorescent aerogel. Hemicellulose derived from rice straw was oxidised to dialdehyde hemicellulose followed by crosslinking using chitosan via a Schiff base reaction (C = N) yielding a highly porous 3D fluorescent aerogel (CS@DAHCA). Various factors governing adsorption were analyzed by applying response surface methodology (RSM) approach. CS@DAHCA exhibited ultra-trace level monitoring with the limit of detection of 3.529 pM and 55.2 nM for As (III) and CPR, respectively. The CS@DAHCA showed maximum adsorption capacity of 185 μg g-1 and 454 mg g-1 for As (III) and CPR, respectively. Finally, the feasibility of CS@DAHCA was ascertained for real water samples confirming it as promising candidate for remediation of As (III) and CPR.

Abstract
Cynodon dactylon, an invasive species, exhibits its robust adaptability, reproduction and nutrient regime against the local species. Taking advantage of this harmful grass as a raw precursor to produce valuable materials for wastewater treatment has paid much attention. Herein, we report on the fabrication of Cynodom dactylon derived MgFe2O4@AC with a main goal of effective removal of ciprofloxacin antibiotic from water. Our findings showed that MgFe2O4@ACK1 composites attained mesoporous textures, high specific surface areas (884.3-991.6 m2 g-1), and MgFe2O4-20%@ACK1 was the most effective with a very high removal efficiency of 96.7%. The Elovich model was suitable for describing the kinetic of adsorption with (Radj)2 of 0.9988. Meanwhile, the isotherm data obeyed the Langmuir model corresponding to (Radj)2 of 0.9993. Qmax value of MgFe2O4-20%@ACK1 was determined at 211.67 mg g-1. The proposed adsorption mechanism primarily comprises five routes as follows, (i) pore-filling, (ii) π-π interaction, (iii) electrostatic interaction, (iv) hydrogen bonding, and (v) hydrophobic interaction. MgFe2O4-20%@ACK1 adsorbent could reuse with three cycles. We recommend that MgFe2O4/ACs derived from Cynodom dactylon could be high-efficiency adsorbents for the elimination of antibiotics.

Abstract
This paper investigated the uptake of CIP and OFL in single and multicomponent adsorptive systems using modified carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as adsorbent material. The characterization analyses of the pre- and post-process material by XPS, TG/DTG, FT-IR, SEM/EDS, and XRD helped in the elucidation of the mechanisms, indicating greater involvement of n-n and π -π interactions. In the kinetic studies, the simple systems with CIP and OFL were similar, both showed equilibrium time around 20/30 min and increased adsorptive capacity with increasing initial drug concentration. In the multicomponent system, different fractions of CIP and OFL were tested and the time to reach equilibrium also varied between 20 and 30 min. In general, the adsorption capacity of CIP is slightly lower than that of OFL under the conditions tested. The selectivity analysis of the system showed that the selectivity's of the two drugs are identical in equimolar fractions. The mathematical modeling of the kinetic data indicated that in monocomponent systems, the model of pseudo-second order (PSO) adequately described both CIP and OFL kinetics. Furthermore, with the implementation of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), it was possible to obtain a more assertive prediction of the behavior of single and binary systems.

Abstract
Herein, adsorption of Rose Bengal dye (RB) from aqueous solution was investigated. Nano raw orange peel (OP) activated carbon (AC) coated with nano chitosan (Cs) to obtain nano chitosan/activated carbon (AC/Cs) composite which cross-linked with functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) to create a novel composite (AC/Cs/MWCNTs) with high surface area (1923 m2/g). The examined parameters such as concentration (1-7 ppm), pH (6.5-9.5) and temperature (295-323 K) were traversed. The maximum removal efficiency was at pH 6.5, increased from 70.4% for nano OP to 94.7% for AC/Cs/MWCNTs nano composite. Langmuir isotherm model was the best fitting to acquired data (R2 ≥ 0.99). Also, the adsorption of RB matched with pseudo-second order model, t0.5 results for pseudo-second order was 4.4672 for nano OP and 1.2813 for AC/Cs/MWCNTs at 303 K. Thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption of RB dye is exothermic and spontaneous due to the negative value of ΔG and ΔH.

Abstract
In this study, we report on the synthesis of ternary photocatalysts comprising TiO2/SnO2/g-C3N4 for the degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) in water. SnO2 nanoparticles were synthesized via the sol-gel method, while g-C3N4 was obtained through melamine calcination. Commercial TiO2 and SnO2 nanopowders were also used. The heterojunctions were synthesized via the wet impregnation method. The photocatalysts were characterized via various techniques, including XRD, TEM, STEM, FTIR, N2 adsorption, UV-Vis DR, and hole tests. Photocatalytic degradation tests of CIP were carried out under UV, visible, and solar radiation. The P25/npA/g-C3N4 (90/10) material exhibited the best performance, achieving CIP degradation of over 97%. The synthesized materials demonstrated excellent initial adsorption of CIP, around 30%, which facilitated subsequent degradation. Notably, the CIP photocatalytic degradation tests performed under solar radiation showed a synergistic effect between the base materials and carbon nitride in highly energetic environments. These results highlight the effectiveness of ternary photocatalysts TiO2/SnO2/g-C3N4 for CIP degradation, particularly under solar radiation.

Advancements in electrochemical technologies for the removal of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in wastewater: A review. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 881:163522. [PMID: 37068672 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.163522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2022] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
In recent times, the need to make water safer and cleaner through the elimination of recalcitrant pharmaceutical residues has been the aim of many studies. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, enrofloxacin, and levofloxacin are among the commonly detected pharmaceuticals in wastewater. Since the presence of these pharmaceuticals in water bodies poses serious risks to living organisms, it is vital to adopt effective wastewater treatment techniques for their complete removal. Electrochemical technologies such as photoelectrocatalysis, electro-Fenton, electrocoagulation, and electrochemical oxidation have been established as techniques capable of the complete removal of organics including pharmaceuticals from wastewater. Hence, this review presents discussions on the recent progress (literature within 2018-2022) in the applications of common electrochemical processes for the degradation of fluoroquinolone antibiotics from wastewater. The fundamentals of these processes are highlighted while the results obtained using the processes are critically discussed. Furthermore, the inherent advantages and limitations of these processes in the mineralization of fluoroquinolone antibiotics are clearly emphasized. Additionally, appropriate recommendations are made toward improving electrochemical technologies for the complete removal of these pharmaceuticals with minimal energy consumption. Therefore, this review will serve as a bedrock for future researchers concerned with wastewater treatments to make informed decisions in the selection of suitable electrochemical techniques for the removal of pharmaceuticals from wastewater.

Recent perspective of antibiotics remediation: A review of the principles, mechanisms, and chemistry controlling remediation from aqueous media. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 881:163469. [PMID: 37061067 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.163469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
Antibiotic pollution is an ever-growing concern that affects the growth of plants and the well-being of animals and humans. Research on antibiotics remediation from aqueous media has grown over the years and previous reviews have highlighted recent advances in antibiotics remediation technologies, perspectives on antibiotics ecotoxicity, and the development of antibiotic-resistant genes. Nevertheless, the relationship between antibiotics solution chemistry, remediation technology, and the interactions between antibiotics and adsorbents at the molecular level is still elusive. Thus, this review summarizes recent literature on antibiotics remediation from aqueous media and the adsorption perspective. The review discusses the principles, mechanisms, and solution chemistry of antibiotics and how they affect remediation and the type of adsorbents used for antibiotic adsorption processes. The literature analysis revealed that: (i) Although antibiotics extraction and detection techniques have evolved from single-substrate-oriented to multi-substrates-oriented detection technologies, antibiotics pollution remains a great danger to the environment due to its trace level; (ii) Some of the most effective antibiotic remediation technologies are still at the laboratory scale. Thus, upscaling these technologies to field level will require funding, which brings in more constraints and doubts patterning to whether the technology will achieve the same performance as in the laboratory; and (iii) Adsorption technologies remain the most affordable for antibiotic remediation. However, the recent trends show more focus on developing high-end adsorbents which are expensive and sometimes less efficient compared to existing adsorbents. Thus, more research needs to focus on developing cheaper and less complex adsorbents from readily available raw materials. This review will be beneficial to stakeholders, researchers, and public health professionals for the efficient management of antibiotics for a refined decision.

Abstract
Emerging organic pollutants (EOPs) are a category of pollutants that are relatively new to the environment and recently garnered a lot of attention. The majority of EOPs includes endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), pesticides, dyes and pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs). Exposure to contaminated water has been linked to an increase in incidences of malnutrition, intrauterine growth retardation, respiratory illnesses, liver malfunctions, eye and skin diseases, and fatalities. Consequently, there is a critical need for wastewater remediation technologies which are effective, reliable, and economical. Conventional wastewater treatment methods have several shortcomings that can be addressed with the help of nanotechnology. Unique characteristics of nanomaterials (NMs) make them intriguing and efficient alternative in wastewater treatment strategies. This review emphasis on the occurrence of divers emerging organic pollutants (EOPs) in water and their effective elimination via different NMs based methods with in-depth mechanisms. Furthermore, it also delves the toxicity assessment of NMs and critical challenges, which are crucial steps for practical implementations.

Abstract
With rapid increase in the human population, a large amount of wastewater is generated every year. The availability of fresh water is decreasing at an alarming rate due to rapid industrialization and agricultural development. Pharmaceutical drugs which are credited for improving standards of life worldwide have emerged as major water contaminants, raising global concern about their potential risk to human health and environment. The presence of pharmaceutical compounds is detected in surface water (sea, river, lakes, etc.), groundwater, effluents from municipal, hospitals, and wastewater treatment plants, and even in drinking water. Efficient removal of pharmaceutical pollutants still remains a challenging task. Many techniques, including photodegradation, photocatalysis, oxidation, reverse osmosis, biodegradation, nanofiltration, adsorption, etc., have been used for the remediation of wastewater. Adsorption of pharmaceutical compounds on nanoadsorbents, as a low-cost and feasible technology, has gained immense popularity for wastewater treatment over the last decade. Adsorption techniques can be integrated with wastewater treatment plants to achieve efficient removal on an industrial level. Herein, we review the literature on the remediation techniques used for the pharmaceutical waste treatment using carbon nanotubes, metal oxides, nanoclay, and new-generation MXenes via adsorption. These materials show excellent adsorptive properties owing to their high surface area, low cost, high porosity, easy functionalization, and high surface reactivity. The adsorption mechanism of the nanoadsorbents and their reusability as a factor of sustainability have also been included in the review. The factors affecting the adsorption, including pH, the concentration of adsorbate, ionic strength, and adsorbate dose, have also been discussed.

Abstract
Amoxicillin (AMX) is a widely used antibiotic, which induces harmful effects to nature via bioaccumulation and persistence in the environment if discharged untreated into water bodies. In the current study, a novel bionanocomposite, bismuth oxyiodide-chitosan (BiOI-Ch), was synthesized by a facile precipitation method and its amoxicillin (AMX) adsorption capacity in the presence of ultrasonic waves has been explored. Multiple batch experiments were performed to achieve the optimum operational parameters for maximum adsorption of AMX and the obtained results were as follows: pH 3, 80 mg g-1 AMX concentration, 1.7 g L-1 adsorbent dose, temperature 298 K and ultrasonication time 20 min. Composite removed approximately 90% AMX from the solution under optimized conditions, while the maximal adsorption capacity was determined to be 81.01 mg g-1. BiOI-Ch exhibited superior adsorption capacity as compared to pure BiOI (33.78 mg g-1). To understand the dynamics of reaction, several kinetic and isotherm models were also examined. The adsorption process obeyed pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.98) and was well fitted to Freundlich isotherm (R2 = 0.99). The addition of biowaste chitosan to non-toxic bismuth-based nanoparticles coupled with ultrasonication led to enhanced functional groups as well as surface area of the nanocomposite resulting in superior adsorption capacity, fast adsorption kinetics and improved mass transfer for the removal of AMX molecules. Thus, this study demonstrates the synergistic effect of ultrasonication in improved performance of novel BiOI-Ch for potential application in the elimination of persistent and detrimental pollutants from industrial effluent after necessary optimization for large-scale operation.

Abstract
With the rapid emergence of various metabolic and multiple-drug-resistant infectious diseases, new pharmaceuticals are continuously being introduced in the market. The excess production and use of pharmaceuticals and their untreated/unmetabolized release in the environment cause the contamination of aquatic ecosystem, and thus, compromise the environment and human-health. The present review provides insights into the classification, sources, occurrence, harmful impacts, and existing technologies to curb these problems. A comprehensive detail of various biological and nanotechnological strategies for the removal of pharmaceutical residues from water is critically discussed focusing on their efficiencies, and current limitations to design improved-technologies for their lab-to-field applications. Furthermore, the review highlights and suggests the scope of integrated bionanotechnological methods for enhanced removal of pharmaceutical residues from water to fulfill the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UN-SDG) for providing clean potable water for all.

Abstract
Environmental pollution has worsened as a result of antibiotic overuse. Nitrogen doping of biochar increases its ability to adsorb antibiotics and has been widely applied as an adsorbent. In this study, we synthesized nitrogen-doped biochar (N-A) from cocoa shell wastes calcined with urea and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) as nitrogen sources and green activators, respectively. An analysis of the biochar morphology, structure, specific surface area, and functional groups provided an understanding of its properties. As indicated by increased surface area, micropores, and surface functional groups, biochar was enhanced in its performance for norfloxacin adsorption when activated using NaHCO3 and nitrogen doped. Adsorption experiments revealed that N-A biochar at 700 and 400 °C had a high adsorption capacity for NOR of 134 mg/g (N-A-CSB700) and 112.31 mg/g (N-A-CSB400) when compared to pristine biochar at 59.27 mg/g (CSB700) and 56.34 mg/g (CSB400), indicating that N-A doped modification on biochar greatly improved adsorption capacity. The Langmuir model demonstrated better NOR adsorption isotherms. The pseudo-second order and Elovich models closely followed the adsorption kinetics. Further investigations were conducted to determine how environmental factors influence biochar interaction with NOR. The results indicated a stable NOR removal efficiency was kept at a wide pH range, whereas the ionic strength inhibited the NOR adsorption process. The investigation into the sorption mechanism revealed that pore filling, H-bonding, π-π EDA interactions, ion exchange, and electrostatic attraction may all be implicated in the NOR adsorption process. Specifically, pore filling played the dominant role for N-A-CSB700, while N-A-CSB400 sorption occurred mainly via H-bonding. Since N-A-CSB700 doped biochar combines high adsorption capacity with a low inhibition effect of environmental factors (Na+/Ca2+), it has a high potential for future practical applications as an environmentally sustainable alternative. It uses low-cost solid waste to produce an adsorbent to cope with emerging contaminants such as antibiotics.

Abstract
Given the increasing risks that antibiotic abuse poses to microecology and human health, it is imperative to develop incredibly powerful adsorbents. This study investigated the use of environmentally sustainable polymeric nanocomposite based on gum arabic (GA) and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) synthesized via co-precipitation method to form gum arabic magnetitic nanoparticles (GA-MNPs) as an efficient adsorbent for ciprofloxacin (CIP) removal from aqueous solution. The physicochemical properties and morphology of the synthesized GA-MNPs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX). The experiment was designed by response surface methodology (RSM) and the Central Composite Design (CCD) was utilized to optimize the operating variables: contact time (0–120 min), pH (3–10), adsorbent dosage (0.10–0.40 g/L), and concentration of adsorbate (5–100 mg/L). Results showed that 96.30% was the maximum percentage of CIP removed. The adsorption effect of the CIP molecule on the surface of the GA-MNPs was investigated using regression analysis and analysis of variance. Furthermore, Freundlich Isotherm and Pseudo Second order kinetic equations have the highest consistency with experimental investigations suggesting double-layer adsorption. This implies that chemisorption was the mechanism involved. In addition, the calculated thermodynamic parameters were postulating an exothermic and spontaneous method in nature. Owing to its adsorption selectivity and recyclability, GA-MNPs could be classified as an environmentally friendly, less expensive, and highly efficient promising adsorbent for remediation of CIP from aqueous solution.

Abstract
Biochar derived from waste pine needles was chemically modified using polyethyleneimine (PEI) to increase its adsorptive potential for withdrawal of anionic dye Congo red from aqueous solution. PEI impregnation on biochar was confirmed from scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The surface area of biochar decreased after PEI treatment, but the amine groups increased on biochar surface. PEI-treated biochar displayed considerable increase in adsorption at acidic conditions. Adsorption isotherm was best explained by Langmuir model (R2 > 99) and the adsorption kinetics agrees well with pseudo-second-order model. The maximum adsorption capacity of PEI-treated biochar was observed to be 294.11 mg g-1 and 30.76 mg g-1 for pristine biochar displaying a 9.5-fold increase. The positive value of standard enthalpy of adsorption (∆H° = 14.96 KJmole-1) indicated the endothermic nature of adsorption, and positive value of entropy (∆S° = 74.43 Jmole-1 K-1) revealed the affinity of biochar towards dye molecules. Negative value of Gibb's free energy ∆G° (- 7.2 KJmole-1) revealed that the process was spontaneous. Electrostatic interaction appeared to be the key mechanism governing the adsorption process. Thus, PEI-impregnated biochar represents novel low-cost sorbent that can effectively remove anionic dyes which are poorly removed by pristine biochar.

Abstract
A 100-day soil incubation experiment was conducted to explore the effects of conventional (high-density polyethylene, HDPE) and biodegradable (polylactic acid, PLA) microplastics (MPs) and multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on soil geochemical properties and bacterial communities. Generally, soil pH was increased by 10% HDPE and 10% PLA, but decreased by increasing MWCNTs. Soil dissolved organic carbon content was only increased by 10% PLA. NO3--N content was significantly decreased by MPs, with a decrement of 99% by 10% PLA. Similarly, available P content was reduced by 10% MPs. The activities of urease and alkaline phosphatase were stimulated by 10% PLA, but generally inhibited by HDPE. Conversely, FDAse activity was stimulated by HDPE, but inhibited by 10% PLA, whereas invertase activity decreased with increasing MWCNTs. Overall, both MPs and MWCNTs changed soil bacterial diversity. Co-exposure to 10% MPs and MWCNTs of 1 and 10 mg/kg caused the lowest species richness and Shannon indexes. MPs especially at the 10% dose changed bacterial community composition and the associated metabolic pathways, causing the enrichment of specific taxa and functional genes. Our findings show that conventional and biodegradable MPs differently change soil geochemical properties and microbial community structure and functions, which can be further modified by co-existing MWCNTs.

Abstract
The detection of drugs containing hydrochloric salt with conventional methods is time consuming and expensive. In this work, upon exposure to ciprofloxacin hydrochloride at different concentrations, the emission from CsPbBr3NCs shifts to the blue from 513 nm to 442 nm. CsPbBr(3-x)ClxNCs are formed by the ion exchange and substitution of Br-and Cl-ions from surface to core of NCs. The first-principles calculations suggest that the substitution of Br-by Cl-ions plays a critical role in the tuning of the energy bandgap. The color of paper test strips changes immediately after exposure to different Ciproxan solutions. We propose that this rapid and portable method has a high potential application in other chloride salts for food safety.

Abstract
During COVID-19 crisis, water pollution caused by pharmaceutical residuals have enormously aggravated since millions of patients worldwide are consuming tons of drugs daily. Antibiotics are the preponderance pharmaceutical pollutants in water bodies that surely cause a real threat to human life and ecosystems. The excellent characteristics of chitosan such as nontoxicity, easy functionality, biodegradability, availability in nature and the abundant hydroxyl and amine groups onto its backbone make it a promising adsorbent. Herein, we aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of recent published research papers regarding the removal of antibiotics by chitosan composite-based adsorbents. The structure, ionic form, optimum removal pH and λmax of the most common antibiotics including Tetracycline, Ciprofloxacin, Amoxicillin, Levofloxacin, Ceftriaxone, Erythromycin, Norfloxacin, Ofloxacin, Doxycycline, Cefotaxime and Sulfamethoxazole were summarized. The development of chitosan composite-based adsorbents in order to enhance their adsorption capacity, reusability and validity were presented. Moreover, the adsorption mechanisms of these antibiotics were explored to provide more information about adsorbate-adsorbent interactions. Besides the dominant factors on the adsorption process including pH, dosage, coexisting ions, etc. were discussed. Moreover, conclusions and future recommendations are provided to inspire for further researches.

Abstract
Untreated wastewater containing fluoroquinolone antibiotics poses serious hazards to aquatic species and human health; therefore, treatment of waste expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a crucial environmental matter. In this study, waste EPS was modified with a H2SO4/biodegradable chelating agent, [S,S]-ethylenediamine-N,N'-disuccinic acid (EDDS), and used for highly efficient adsorption of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin. When ciprofloxacin of 25 mg/L was used, the H2SO4-modified EPS (EPSH2SO4) adsorbed 60.5% of the ciprofloxacin. During sulfonation, adding a low dose of EDDS markedly improved the adsorption ability of EPSH2SO4+EDDS. The optimal modification conditions were 95% H2SO4, 0.002 M EDDS, 80 °C, and 40 min. The increased adsorbent doses enhanced the adsorption. Approximately 0.2 g/L of EPSH2SO4+EDDS could effectively adsorb 97.8% of the ciprofloxacin (554.3 mg/g) within 30 min. Solution pH0 greatly influenced the adsorption, and the most suitable pH0 was 6. The Langmuir isotherm accurately described the adsorption behaviors of both EPSH2SO4 and EPSH2SO4+EDDS (R2 = 0.997-0.998). The adsorption ability of EPSH2SO4+EDDS (qmax = 1250 mg/g) was 32 times higher than that of EPSH2SO4 (qmax = 38.6 mg/g). A total of 1 M HCl effectively regenerated the exhausted adsorbent. The optimal solid/liquid ratio and time were 0.08 g/20 mL and 60 min, respectively. The regenerated EPSH2SO4+EDDS maintained a high adsorption ability (87.2%) after 10 regeneration cycles. The results thus indicate that the EPSH2SO4+EDDS adsorption-regeneration process is a potential approach to remove ciprofloxacin from water.

Abstract
Magnetic nickel-copper ferrite (NixCuyFe2O4) nano-catalyst was synthesized by co-precipitation method, and it exhibited excellent ability for activating peroxydisulfate (PDS) in the degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP). As-prepared Ni0.5Cu0.5Fe2O4 properties were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), transmissions electron microscopy (TEM), N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm plot of Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The maximum degradation efficiency is 80.2% by using 0.500 g/L of Ni0.5Cu0.5Fe2O4 for activating 5.00 mmol/L of PDS to degrade CIP (20.0 mg/L) at 25 ± 2 °C for 50 min (pH = 6.00). The presence of interfering ions Cl-, NO3-, and HCO3- inhibited the reaction by producing reactive species with low oxidation potential, inducing the degradation efficiency down to 60.0%, 58.1% and 21.5% respectively. Ni0.5Cu0.5Fe2O4 displayed great magnetic separation characteristic for the satisfactory magnetization; saturation value is ∼8.6 emu/g. The degradation efficiency of recycled samples has no significant difference after using three times, which is about 60%, indicating that Ni0.5Cu0.5Fe2O4 is a reusability catalyst in activating PDS for CIP degradation. This work might provide an efficient and promising approach to construct recyclable magnetic materials that can be used for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this study, biochar derived from brown algal Ascophyllum nodosum was synthesized through hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) coupling with ZnCl2 chemical activation and applied as a sustainable adsorbent for antibiotic removal from water exemplified by ciprofloxacin (CIP). Various surface analysis techniques such as Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and zeta potential were used to clarify the surface properties of prepared biochars. The adsorption performance of biochars was investigated using batch adsorption experiments with a variety of parameters (initial pH, ionic types, temperature and water matrixes). The application of prepared biochar in CIP removal showed a good result of adsorption capacity (150-400 mg g-1) in different conditions. Overall, algal biochars, as a product recycled from biowaste, demonstrated a novel and promising adsorbent for effective and sustainable method for removal of antibiotics from water.

Abstract
Remediation of emerging pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) as micropollutants in wastewater is of foremost importance as they can cause extremely detrimental effects on life upon bioaccumulation and generation of drug-resistance microorganisms. Presently used physicochemical treatments, such as electrochemical oxidation, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis, are not feasible owing to high operating costs, incomplete removal of contaminants along with toxic by-products formation. Adsorption with the utilization of facile and efficient nanoparticulate adsorbents having distinctive properties of high surface area, excellent adsorption capacity, ability to undergo surface engineering and good regeneration displays great potential in this aspect along with the incorporation of nanotechnology for effective treatment. The application of such nanosorbents provides optimal performance under a wide range of physicochemical conditions, decreased secondary pollution with reduced mechanical stress along with excellent organic compound sequestration capacity, which in turn improves the quality of potable water in a sustainable way compared to current treatments. The present review intends to consolidate the range of factors that affect the process of adsorption of different PhACs on to various nanosorbents and also highlights the adsorption mechanism aiding in the retrieval.

Abstract
In this research, the fabrication of drug delivery systems based on oxidized multiwall carbon nanotubes (O-MWCNTs) was studied. Herein, TiO2 and Au were conjugated with O-MWCNTs to prepare efficient nanocarriers for dexamethasone (dex). The samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In addition, dex loading was studied using adsorption isotherms including Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich. The results show that dex adsorption agreed well with the Freundlich isotherm. Increasing the TiO2 to O-MWCNT ratio from (1 : 4) to (1 : 2) can improve the adsorption capacity from
to 320
. The increasing Au amount increases the adsorption capacity from
(SA1) to maximum
(SA6). The maximum equilibrium binding energy
was obtained for SA2, and SA7 shows high binding strength between dex and the nanoadsorbent. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) show good affinity with high loading capabilities for dexamethasone adsorption. The synthesized TiO2-O-MWCNTs:1/2 with the maximum removal percent (80%) was proposed as an appropriate nanocarrier for dexamethasone. Pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, Elovich, and intraparticle diffusion models were investigated for all synthesized drug nanocarriers. According to regression coefficients, experimental data are in good agreement with the pseudo-second order model for all adsorbents except O-MWCNT/CTAB. Experimental results revealed that the Elovich model could account for the O-MWCNT/CTAB adsorbent.

Abstract
Norfloxacin, a kind of antibiotic frequently detected in environments, represents a group of non-persistent organic pollutants with latent risks to the ecosystem. Iron ore waste, generated and accumulated in large quantities from the iron/steel industry, was evaluated as a potential sorbent for norfloxacin removal. Kinetics analysis showed that the adsorption process reached equilibrium at 72 h, and the adsorption process could be best defined by the pseudo-second-order kinetics with the primary mechanism of norfloxacin adsorption suggested to be cation exchange. Further, adsorption of norfloxacin to iron ore waste was shown to be facilitated by the pH range of 2-10, low cation concentration, and low temperature, which are characteristic of natural surface waters, suggesting the potential of practical applications in aquatic environments. These findings provide new insight into the potentials of beneficial reuse for iron ore waste in the adsorptive removal of environmental pollutants.

Abstract
Large amounts of antibiotics are produced and consumed worldwide, while wastewater treatment is still rather inefficient, leading to considerable water contamination. Concentrations of antibiotics in the environment are often sufficiently high to exert a selective pressure on bacteria of clinical importance that increases the prevalence of resistance. Since the drastic reduction in the use of antibiotics is not envisaged, efforts to reduce their input into the environment by improving treatment of contaminated wastewater is essential to limit uncontrollable spread of antibiotic resistance. This paper reviews recent progress on the use of non-thermal plasma for the degradation of antibiotics in water. The target compounds removal, the energy efficiency and the mineralization are analyzed as a function of discharge configuration and the most important experimental parameters. Various ways to improve the plasma process efficiency are addressed. Based on the identified reaction intermediates, degradation pathways are proposed for various classes of antibiotics and the degradation mechanisms of these chemicals under plasma conditions are discussed.

Abstract
This review summarizes the adsorptive removal of Fluoroquinolones (FQ) from water and wastewater. The influence of different physicochemical parameters on the adsorptive removal of FQ-based compounds is detailed. Further, the mechanisms involved in the adsorption of FQ-based antibiotics on various adsorbents are succinctly described. As the first of its kind, this paper emphasizes the performance of each adsorbent for FQ-type antibiotic removal based on partition coefficients of the adsorbents that is a more sensitive parameter than adsorption capacity for comparing the performances of adsorbents under various adsorbate concentrations and heterogeneous environmental conditions. It was found that π-π electron donor-acceptor interactions, electrostatic interactions, and pore-filling were the most prominent mechanisms for FQ adsorption by carbon and clay-based adsorbents. Among all the categories of adsorbents reviewed, graphene showed the highest performance for the removal of FQ antibiotics from water and wastewater. Based on the current state of knowledge, this review fills the gap through methodolically understanding the mechanism for further improvement of FQ antibiotics adsorption performance from water and wastewater.

Abstract
Chromium (Cr) is a toxic heavy metal for environmental compartments and human health. In this study, waste polypropylene hollow filters (PPF) with an optimal pore size of 5 μm were amino-functionalized with an optimized amount of polyaniline (PANI) and polypyrrole (PPy) as an adsorbent for removing Cr (VI). The adsorbent was characterized by scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, showing the successful polymerization of co-polymer on the surface of PPF and increasing the surface area up to 15.08 m2 g-1. A Box-Behnken design was applied by a quadratic model with 99.15% accuracy, revealing a significant impact of the initial concentration of Cr (VI) on the removal efficiency. Dynamic adsorption was conducted in a continuous and semi-continuous system with over 99% removal efficiency for various initial concentrations of Cr(VI). The fitted data showed that the adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm models at the optimum pH of 2 with the predicted maximum adsorption capacity of 510.9 mg g-1 of PANI+PPy, which was significantly higher than some reported adsorbents. The effect of coexisting cations (Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+) and anions (SO42-, Cl- and NO3-) on the removal efficiency revealed selective adsorption of Cr(VI) by the adsorbent. The produced adsorbent was capable of removing 76.6% of Cr(VI) from real electroplating wastewater. Regeneration of the adsorbent was performed by NaOH 1 mol L-1 up to three cycles with a 20% reduction in adsorption performance. All data showed that PPF@PANI+PPy was a promising adsorbent for Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solutions and real-world wastewater.

Abstract
The present study deals with the adsorption of antibiotic Ciprofloxacin (CPXO) and anti-inflammatory agent Diclofenac (DCF) on Grass nanocellulose (GNC) extracted from Cyprus rotundas grass. The adsorbent GNC was characterised using various microscopic, elemental and spectroscopic analysis to monitor the physicochemical alterations of the surface before and after adsorption. The size of the converted nanocellulose was found to be 40-50 nm. The experimental measures influencing the adsorption of CPXO and DCF that were optimised are initial solution pH, GNC dosage, temperature and initial concentration of the adsorbate. Halsey isotherm model and pseudo-second order kinetic model agreed best with the experimental outcome for both the adsorbate. The maximum adsorption capacity of GNC were 227.223 and 192.307 mg/g for CPXO and DCF respectively. Phytotoxicity studies were performed using 6 different types of seeds to evaluate the effect of GNC treated effluent on plants. Similarly, acute fish toxicity on zebra fish analysis showed to have lesser mortality rate of the effluent after adsorption of CPXO and DCF on GNC.

Abstract
Adsorptive removal of rose bengal (RB) from contaminated water samples was approached using pineapple leaves (PAL). Three adsorbents were utilized for that purpose; raw pineapple leaves (RPAL) and the thermally activated bio-waste leaves at 250 and 500 °C. Two measures were executed to evaluate the functionality of exploited biomasses; percentage removal (%R) and adsorption capacity (qe). Face-centered central composite design (FCCCD) was conducted to experiment the influence of variables on the %R. Dose of PAL as adsorbent (AD), concentration of RB (DC), pH and contact time (CT), were the inspected factors. Existence of functional groups and formation of activated carbon was instigated employing Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopies. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analyses were used to explore surface features. Thermal behavior of adsorbents was studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The surface area and other surface structural properties were established using the Brunauer Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. An amount of 92.53% of RB could be removed with an adsorption capacity of 58.8 mg/g using a combination of pH 5.00 ± 0.20, RPAL dose of 0.05 mg/50 mL, and 10-ppm RB for 180 min. Equilibrium studies divulge a favorable adsorption that follows the Freundlich isotherm. Pseudo-second-order model explains the observed adsorption kinetics.
