Abstract
This study explores the utilization of adsorption and advanced oxidation processes for the degradation of ofloxacin (OFL) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) using a green functionalized carbon nanotube (MWCNT-OH/COOH-E) as adsorbent and catalyst material. The stability and catalytic activity of the solid material were proved by FT-IR and TG/DTG, which also helped to elucidate the reaction mechanisms. In adsorption kinetic studies, both antibiotics showed similar behavior, with an equilibrium at 30 min and 60% removal. The adsorption kinetic data of both antibiotics were well described by the pseudo-first-order (PFO) model. Different advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) were used, and the photolytic degradation was not satisfactory, whereas heterogeneous photocatalysis showed high degradation (⁓ 70%), both processes with 30 min of reaction. Nevertheless, ozonation and catalytic ozonation have resulted in the highest efficiencies, 90%, and 70%, respectively, after 30-min reaction. For AOP data modeling, the first-order model better described CIP and OFL in photocatalytic and ozonation process. Intermediates were detected by MS-MS analysis, such as P313, P330, and P277 for ciprofloxacin and P391 and P332 for ofloxacin. The toxicity test demonstrated that a lower acute toxicity was observed for the photocatalysis method samples, with only 3.1 and 1.5 TU for CIP and OFL, respectively, thus being a promising method for its degradation, due to its lower risk of inducing the proliferation of bacterial resistance in an aquatic environment. Ultimately, the analysis of MWCNT reusability showed good performance for 2 cycles and regeneration of MWCNT with ozone confirmed its effectiveness up to 3 cycles.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown great prospects in wastewater remediation. However, the easy aggregation, difficult separation and inferior reusability greatly limit their large-scale application. Herein, we proposed a facile, green and low-cost strategy to construct robust and stable MOF-based hydrogel beads (Fe-BTC-HBs) in a gram scale, and employed them to remove antibiotics from wastewater. As a result, the Fe-BTC-HBs demonstrated outstanding adsorption capacity for both ofloxacin (OFL) and tetracycline (TC) (281.17 mg/g for OFL and 223.60 mg/g for TC) under a near-neutral environment. The main adsorption mechanisms of OFL and TC were hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking interaction. Owing to its macroscopic granule and stable structure, Fe-BTC-HBs can be separated rapidly from wastewater after capturing antibiotics, and more than 85% adsorption capacity still remained after six cycles, while the powdered Fe-BTC only showed less than 6% recovery efficiency with massive weight loss (around 92%). In real industrial effluent, the adsorption performance of Fe-BTC-HBs toward two antibiotics exhibited negligible decreases (2.9% for OFL and 2.2% for TC) compared with that in corresponding solutions. Furthermore, Fe-BTC-HBs also had appealing economic and environmental benefit. Overall, the macro-manufactured MOF beads have the promising potential for the large-scale wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Calcined bean dregs-hydrocalumite composites were prepared through in situ self-assembly of hydrocalumite on the surface of bean dregs and used for the adsorption of ofloxacin from water. The adsorbents were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and N2 physical adsorption. The results showed that the adsorption performance of calcined bean dregs-hydrocalumite composites for ofloxacin was much better than that of a single bean dreg carbon or calcined hydrocalumite. The effects of preparation and adsorption conditions on the adsorption property of calcined bean dregs-hydrocalumite for ofloxacin were also investigated. The adsorption ratio of ofloxacin reached up to 99.93% using 4 g·L-1 adsorbent dosage with 20 mg·L-1 initial concentration of ofloxacin at 30 °C in 2 h. The adsorption process mainly occurred in the first 5 min. In addition, the adsorption of ofloxacin by calcined bean dregs-hydrocalumite was more in line with pseudo-second-order dynamics and the Langmuir isotherm model.

Abstract
Atrazine has been widely used as an herbicide, and its harm has attracted more and more attention. In this study, magnetic algal residue biochar (MARB) was prepared from algae residue, a by-product of aquaculture, by ball milling it with ferric oxide to study the adsorption and removal of the triazine herbicide atrazine in a soil medium. The adsorption kinetics and isotherm results showed that atrazine removal by MARB reached 95.5% within 8 h at a concentration of 10 mg·L-1, but the removal rate dropped to 78.4% in the soil medium. The pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherms best described atrazine adsorption on MARB. It is estimated that the maximum adsorption capacity of MARB can reach 10.63 mg·g-1. The effects of pH, humic acids, and cations on the adsorption performance of MARB for atrazine were also studied. When pH was 3, the adsorption capacity of MARB was twice that of other pHs. Only in the presence of 50 mg·L-1 HA and 0.1 mol·L-1 NH4+, Na, and K, the adsorption capacity of MARB to AT decreased by 8% and 13%, respectively. The results showed that MARB had a stable removal profile over a wide range of conditions. The adsorption mechanisms involved multiple interaction forms, among which the introduction of iron oxide promoted hydrogen bonding formation and π-π interactions by enriching -OH and -COO on the surface of MARB. Overall, the magnetic biochar prepared in this study can be used as an effective adsorbent to remove atrazine in complex environments and is ideal for algal biomass waste treatment and environmental governance.+.

Abstract
In this study, honeycomb lignin-based biochar (HLB) was prepared by hydrothermal activation using industrial lignin as raw material to remove norfloxacin from water. Batch adsorption test results showed that HLB has a strong ability to remove norfloxacin at a wide pH. The maximum adsorption capacity was 529.85 mg/g at 298 K, which is 1.52-fold to 201.46-fold higher than that of other reported materials. HLB showed good selectivity and recycling ability for the adsorption of norfloxacin, the removal rate of NOR reached 99.5% in the presence of competitive ions and maintained at least 98% removal rate after 12 adsorption cycles. The removal rate of norfloxacin in different water reached more than 99% within 8 mins. Pore filling, electrostatic interaction, π-π interaction, and hydrogen bond contributed significantly to the removal of norfloxacin. Among them, the highly aromatized structure of HLB and the abundant oxygen-containing functional groups (OH, CO, etc.) promoted π-π interaction.

Abstract
In this present study, silver (Ag) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were successfully deposited on coconut shell-derived activated carbon (CSAC), to synthesize a novel nanocomposite (CSAC@AgNPs@TiO2NPs) for the adsorption of Methylene Blue (MB) dye from aqueous solution. The fabricated CSAC@AgNPs@TiO2NPs nanocomposite was analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) equipped with Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) detector, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscope (XPS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The successful deposition of AgNPs and TiO2NPs on CSAC surface was revealed by the TEM/EDX, SEM, and XPS analysis. The mesopore structure of CSAC@AgNPs@TiO2NPs has a BET surface area of 301 m2/g. The batch adsorption studies were conducted and the influence of different parameters, i.e., adsorbent dose, adsorption time, initial dye concentration, pH and temperature were investigated. The nonlinear isotherm and kinetic modelling demonstrated that adsorption data were best fitted by Sips isotherm and pseudo-second-order models, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity of MB onto CSAC@AgNPs@TiO2NPs by the Sips model was 184 mg/g. Thermodynamic results revealed that the adsorption was endothermic, spontaneous and physical in nature. CSAC@AgNPs@TiO2NPs revealed that MB absorption by CSAC@AgNPs@TiO2NPs was spontaneous and endothermic. The uptake capacity of MB was influenced significantly by the presence of competing ions including, NO3-, HCO3, Ca2+, and Na+. Repeated tests indicated that the CSAC@AgNPs@TiO2NPs can be regenerated and reused six times before being discarded. The primary separation mechanism between MB dye and CSAC@AgNPs@TiO2NPs was the electrostatic interaction. Thus, CSAC@AgNPs@TiO2NPs was an outstanding material, which displayed good applicability in real water with ≥ 97% removal of MB dye.
