Doxycycline (DOXY), a widely used antibiotic during COVID-19, was overused, leading to concerns about contamination of aquatic environments and environmental problems. The present study used the Ti/TiO2-RuO2-IrO2 electrode for DOXY's electrochemical oxidation (EO) in batch and once-through continuous mode operations. Process parameters were optimized using a response surface methodology (RSM)-Box-Behnken Design (BBD) model. The impact of key input parameters, including time (t), current density (j) (mA/cm2), and pH, on the percentage of DOXY degradation and energy consumption was systematically investigated. Under optimal conditions pH = 3, t = 73 min, and j = 11.63 mA/cm2, DOXY degradation achieved 91% with an energy consumption of 5.283 kWh/m³. In the once-through continuous mode EO process, optimal conditions reached 91% DOXY degradation with an energy consumption of 13.98 kWh/m³, achieved at a residence time (Rt) of 139 min, elapsed (Et) time of 100 min and at j = 20.40 mA/cm2. The EO process utilizing Ti/TiO2-RuO2-IrO2 electrodes demonstrates significant potential for the degradation of DOXY, primarily due to its enhanced degradation efficiency. This method's superior performance highlights its viability as a highly effective approach for the treatment of DOXY-contaminated wastewater.

Essential for human development, water is increasingly polluted by diverse anthropogenic activities, containing contaminants like organic dyes, acids, antibiotics, inorganic salts, and heavy metals. Conventional methods fall short, prompting the exploration of advanced, cost-effective remediation. Recent research focuses on sustainable adsorption, with nano-modifications enhancing adsorbent efficacy against persistent waterborne pollutants. This review delves into recent advancements (2020–2023) in sustainable biopolymeric nanocomposites, spotlighting the applications of biopolymers like chitosan in wastewater remediation, particularly as adsorbents and filtration membranes along with their mechanism. The advantages and drawbacks of various biopolymers have also been discussed along with their modification in synthesizing biopolymeric nanocomposites by combining the benefits of biodegradable polymers and nanomaterials for enhanced physiochemical and mechanical properties for their application in wastewater treatment. The important functions of biopolymeric nanocomposites by adsorbing, removing, and selectively targeting contaminants, contributing to the purification and sustainable management of water resources, have also been elaborated on. Furthermore, it outlines the reusability and current challenges for the further exploration of biopolymers in this burgeoning field for environmental applications.
