“…The consumption of groundwater (most often used as a source of drinking water) contaminated with antibiotics, ARB or ARGs might lead to the development of antibiotic resistance in humans [6]. Industrial and agricultural runoff (rainfall and snowmelt runoff) also results in antibiotic occurrence in natural water bodies [2,8,13,39]. Wastewater treatment plants are often recognized as the main source of pharmaceuticals discharge into the environment [37,40].…”

The extensive application of antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine has led to their widespread occurrence in a natural aquatic environment. Global health crisis is associated with the fast development of antimicrobial resistance, as more and more infectious diseases cannot be treated more than once. Sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim and ciprofloxacin are the most commonly detected antibiotics in water systems worldwide. The persistent and toxic nature of these antibiotics makes their elimination by conventional treatment methods at wastewater treatment plants almost impossible. The application of advanced oxidation processes and heterogeneous photocatalysis over TiO2-based materials is a promising solution. This highly efficient technology has the potential to be sustainable, cost-efficient and energy-efficient. A comprehensive review on the application of various TiO2-based photocatalysts for the degradation of sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim and ciprofloxacin is focused on highlighting their photocatalytic performance under various reaction conditions (different amounts of pollutant and photocatalyst, pH, light source, reaction media, presence of inorganic ions, natural organic matter, oxidants). Mineralization efficiency and ecotoxicity of final products have been also considered. Further research needs have been presented based on the literature findings. Among them, design and development of highly efficient under sunlight, stable, recyclable and cost-effective TiO2-based materials; usage of real wastewaters for photocatalytic tests; and compulsory assessment of products ecotoxicity are the most important research tasks in order to meet requirements for industrial application.

“…However, the excessive application and irregular discharge of antibiotics have led to a sharp increase in their concentration in natural water bodies and soil. 1 , 2 The presence of antibiotics in the environment threatens the ecological balance and people’s survival because they can kill microorganisms and lead to the generation of super resistant bacteria. 3 , 4 Therefore, it is necessary to remove excessive antibiotics in wastewater.…”

The discharge of antibiotics and the potential threat to organisms posed by this have received increasing attention. In this work, flocculent magnesium silicate (FMS) was fabricated by a facile hydrothermal and freeze-drying process, and its adsorption behavior for antibiotic oxytetracycline (OTC) was investigated. FMS presented a sepiolite-type structure and the alkaline solution promoted its hydroxylation. A hierarchical pore structure ranging from micropores to macropores and a high specific surface area of 660 m 2 /g were exhibited. FMS exhibited a higher adsorption amount in neutral solution than in acidic or alkaline conditions as the physicochemical properties of FMS and OTC were significantly affected by the pH. Adsorption isotherm could be well-described by the Langmuir model, and the calculated saturated adsorption capacity was as high as 265 mg/g. Adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the adsorption rate-controlling step was intraparticle diffusion. Thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption was a spontaneous physicochemical reaction. After five cycles, around 91% of the adsorption performance was still maintained, demonstrating the excellent reusability of FMS. The sepiolite-type FMS fabricated in this work could be applied to remove OTC from wastewater.
