“…Finally, sewage sludge, fish waste, and mixtures of the two were pyrolized at 650 and 950°C in order to convert them into stable adsorbents [123]. To test their performance in the removal of pharmaceuticals from water, sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and trimethoprim (TMP) were chosen as model adsorbates.…”

Low-cost by-products from agricultural, household and industrial sectors have been recognized as a sustainable solution for wastewater treatment. They allow achieving the removal of pollutants from wastewater and at same time to contribute to the waste minimization, recovery and reuse. Despite numerous reviews have been published in the last few years, a direct comparison of data obtained using different sorbents is difficult nowadays because of inconsistencies in the data presentation. In this context, the aim of the study was to revise the current literature concerning the application of low-cost adsorbents for wastewater treatment highlighting, systematically, both adsorbents characteristics and adsorption capacities. For this scope, low-cost sorbents have been divided into the following five groups: (i) Agricultural and household wastes, (ii) industrial by-products, (iii) sludge, (iv) sea materials, (v) soil and ore materials and (vi) novel low-cost adsorbents. The affinity of sorbents in removing various pollutants, their applications on real wastewater, costs and considerations on their reuse after adsorption processes, has been discussed. Finally, in order to better highlights the affinity of sorbents for more pollutants (dyes, heavy metals, biorecalcitrant compounds, nitrogen and phosphate compounds), simple methodological tools such as "adsorbentspollutants" matrices have been proposed and applied. In this manner, the adsorbent candidates for

“…The efficiency of adsorption process is highly affected by the type of adsorbate, adsorbent, and operating conditions. Several adsorbents have been reported for the adsorption of antibiotics, e.g., multiwall carbon nanotubes, activated carbons, zeolites, clay, and metal organic frameworks (MOFs) [2,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

“…Other authors studied SMX sorption on carbonaceous materials, and also observed that the Langmuir and Langmuir-Freundlich models were most appropriate. Furthermore, in the present study, the parameter R L (using C 0 from 1 to 200 mg L -1 ) was calculated for the SMX, being the values between 0.958 and 0.093 and 0.960 to 0.097, for SSCM and RCM, respectively, indicating that the sorption process was favorable [8,16]. Table 6 shows the sorption capacities of sulfamethoxazole by different waste-derived carbonaceous materials (singlecompound aqueous solutions).…”

“…In fact, SMX has been detected in the range of ng L -1 to mg L -1 in surface waters [7]. Hence the importance of their elimination from the water bodies, since the chronic exposure can lead to the development of antibiotic resistance; therefore, improving the removal technologies is a priority [8].…”

Removal behavior of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) by two carbonaceous materials was studied. The adsorbents were obtained by pyrolysis (550°C, 1 h under nitrogen flow), followed by acid washing of residuals consisting of a biological secondary sludge (SSCM) and a local herbaceous plant (Phragmites communis, RCM). The morphology, elemental composition and chemical properties of the obtained carbonaceous materials were fully characterized. The equilibrium and kinetics of SMX adsorption were studied and modelled, together with the pH and temperature effects. Additional heating of the materials under limited aerobic conditions (800°C, 1 h) improved their adsorption capacity, compared with simple pyrolysis at 550°C only. The uptake rates followed a secondorder model, while the adsorption capacities (up to 30.4 and 21.5 mg g-1) were predictable with Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms (heterogeneous vs. homogeneous adsorption, on SSCM and RCM, respectively). Removal of sulfamethoxazole was most effective at acidic pH in both materials. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔG°, ΔH°, ΔS°) indicated that SMX adsorption was spontaneous, favorable, exothermic and reversible. The residuals were turned into promising low-cost sorbents for removal of sulfamethoxazole from water.
