Abstract
This study aims to understand how surfactants affect the mobility of tetracycline (TC), an antibiotic, through different aquifer media. Two anionic and cationic surfactants, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), were used to study their influence on TC mobility through clean sand and humic acid (HA)-coated sand. HA coating inhibits TC mobility due to its strong interaction with TC. Both surfactants promoted TC mobility at pH 7.0 due to competitive deposition, steric effect, and increased hydrophilicity of TC. CTAB had a more substantial effect than SDBS, related to the surfactants' molecular properties. Each surfactant's promotion effects were greater in HA-coated sand than in quartz sand due to differences in surfactant retention. CTAB inhibited TC transport at pH 9.0 due to its significant hydrophobicity effect. Furthermore, in the presence of Ca2+, SDBS enhanced TC transport by forming deposited SDBS-Ca2+-TC complexes. On the other hand, CTAB increased TC mobility due to its inhibition of cation bridging between TC and porous media. The findings highlight surfactants' crucial role in influencing the environmental behaviors of tetracycline antibiotics in varied aquifers.

Abstract
Knowledge of the mobility of tetracycline (TC) antibiotics in porous media is critical to understand their potential environmental influences. The transport characteristics of TC in sand columns with three different surfactants, including Tween 80, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), and didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) under various conditions were investigated in this study. Results demonstrated that all surfactants enhanced TC transport under neutral conditions (10 mM NaCl at pH 7.0). The observation was attributed mostly to deposition site competition, higher electrostatic repulsion between TC molecules and sand grains, steric hindrance, and the increase of TC hydrophilicity. Furthermore, the order of the transport-enhancement effects was generally observed as follows: DDAB > SDBS > Tween 80. The trend was controlled by the variation in the physicochemical properties of surfactants. It was noticed that the presence of Cu2+ (a model divalent cation) in the background solution, the cation-bridging contributed to the promotion effects of DDAB or Tween 80 on TC mobility. Interestingly, SDBS considerably suppressed TC transport due to the precipitation of SDBS-Cu2+ complexes onto sand surfaces. Moreover, the enhancement order of surfactants at pH 5.0 was similar to that pH 7.0. However, DDAB could inhibit TC transport in sand columns at pH 9.0, which were mainly caused by the decrease of electrostatic repulsion and the hydrophobicity induced by the binding cationic surfactant. Findings from this work provide novel insight into involvement of surfactants in antibiotic transport behaviors in the subsurface environment.
