“…Various methods are used for the removal of PPCPs including advanced oxidation process (AOPs) ( Kumar et al, 2023 ; Quan et al, 2023 ), biodegradation ( Liu et al, 2022 ; Du et al, 2023 ), membrane separation ( Lin et al, 2023 ; Li et al, 2024 ), and adsorption ( Jin et al, 2018 ; Yin et al, 2020 ). Among them, advanced oxidation methods may result in incomplete degradation of pollutants and the production of more toxic compounds, while membrane separation methods have higher costs ( Kodali et al, 2023a ).…”

In this study, phosphoric acid activation was employed to synthesize nitrogen-doped mesoporous activated carbon (designated as MR1) from Lentinus edodes (shiitake mushroom) residue, while aiming to efficiently remove acetaminophen (APAP), carbamazepine (CBZ), and metronidazole (MNZ) from aqueous solutions. We characterized the physicochemical properties of the produced adsorbents using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen adsorption isotherms, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). MR1, MR2, and MR3 were prepared using phosphoric acid impregnation ratios of 1, 2, and 3 mL/g, respectively. Notably, MR1 exhibited a significant mesoporous structure with a volume of 0.825 cm3/g and a quaternary nitrogen content of 2.6%. This endowed MR1 with a high adsorption capacity for APAP, CBZ, and MNZ, positioning it as a promising candidate for water purification applications. The adsorption behavior of the contaminants followed the Freundlich isotherm model, suggesting a multilayer adsorption process. Notably, MR1 showed excellent durability and recyclability, maintaining 95% of its initial adsorption efficiency after five regeneration cycles and indicating its potential for sustainable use in water treatment processes.

“…Organic micropollutants (OMPs) are a wide group of synthetic organic chemicals, which are discharged into the aquatic ecosystems and present from ng/l to µg/l (Anjum et al, 2017;Vadiraj et al, 2021). All over the world, OMPs, including pharmaceuticals, personal care products and pesticides, have been detected in surface water (Bu et al, 2015;Du et al, 2023), ground water (Sackaria and Elango, 2020;Tisler et al, 2022), drinking water (Ren et al, 2020;Tröger et al, 2020), and wastewater (Clara et al, 2004;Rogowska et al, 2020). Furthermore, the global production of chemicals is rapidly increasing (79% increase from 2000 to 2017) and is predicted to become three times higher in 2050 than 2010 due to the increase of global demand (Persson et al, 2022).…”

Microalgae-based technology for wastewater treatment: exploring organic micropollutants removal

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Organic micropollutants (OMPs) need to be removed from wastewater as they can negatively affect aquatic organisms. It has been demonstrated that microalgae-based technologies are efficient in removing OMPs from wastewater. In this study, the removal processes and kinetics of six persistent OMPs (diclofenac, clarithromycin, benzotriazole, metoprolol, carbamazepine and mecoprop) were studied during cultivation of Scenedesmus obliquus in batch mode. These OMPs were added as individual compounds and in a mixture. The short experiments (8 days) were designed to avoid masking of OMPs removal processes by light and nutrient limitation. The results show that diclofenac, clarithromycin, and benzotriazole were mainly removed by photodegradation (diclofenac), biodegradation (benzotriazole), or a combination of the two processes (clarithromycin). Peroxidase was involved in intracellular and extracellular biodegradation when benzotriazole was present as individual compound. Carbamazepine, metoprolol and mecoprop showed no significant biodegradation or photodegradation, and neglectable removal (<5%) by bioadsorption and bioaccumulation. The mixture of OMPs had an adverse effect on the photodegradation of clarithromycin and diclofenac, with reduced first-order kinetic constants compared to the individual compounds. Benzotriazole biodegradation was inhibited by the presence of the mixture of OMPs. This indicates that the presence of the OMPs inhibits the photodegradation and biodegradation of some individual OMPs. These results will improve our understanding on the removal processes of individual and mixtures of OMPs by microalgae-based technologies for wastewater treatment.
