“…Antibiotics are one of the most important pollutants, and they have been used increasingly in various sectors since penicillin was discovered in 1929 [19][20][21]. Global antibiotic consumption is predicted to be between 100,000 and 200,000 tons per year [22,23].…”

Our reliance on antibiotics, life-saving medications that combat bacterial infections, has inadvertently introduced them into the environment. This paper explores the environmental consequences of this unintended release, focusing on the persistence of antibiotics and their disruption of ecological balance. We delve into the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria as a major public health concern linked to this environmental contamination. Recognizing the limitations of existing degradation techniques, the paper emphasizes the need for innovative solutions. We explore the potential of novel materials like engineered nanoparticles and biochar alongside investigating unconventional degradation mechanisms found in extreme environments. Ultimately, the paper underscores the importance of collaborative research efforts and the development of sustainable solutions to mitigate the environmental impact of antibiotics and safeguard the future effectiveness of these critical medications.

This study describes the development of a multifunction chromoionophoric probe‐based nano‐conjugate material for the colorimetric determination, recovery, and removal of palladium and cobalt ions (Pd(II) and Co(II)) ions from electronic wastes and electroplating wastewater. The chromoionophoric probe‐based nano‐conjugate material was prepared using a building‐block approach by anchoring the 4‐[(E)‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)diazenyl]‐1‐nitrosonaphthalen‐2‐ol (HDN) organic chromoionophoric probe onto nano‐spherical silica material carrier. The prepared materials were characterized using different techniques, such as TEM, SEM XRD, and BET. The HDN chromoionophoric probe‐based nano‐conjugate material was evaluated for its effectiveness in detecting and removing Pd(II) and Co(II) ions from electronic wastes and electroplating wastewater by testing various parameters such as pH, sensing system temperature, reaction kinetic, nano‐conjugate material amount, stability of the chromoionophoric probe‐based nano‐conjugate material and the existence of other coexisting metal ions. The HDN chromoionophoric probe‐based nano‐conjugate material demonstrated high selectivity and sensitivity for the colorimetric ion‐sensing of Pd(II) and Co(II) ions, with a detection limit of 7.18 and 208 nM, respectively. The method displayed optimal sensing at pH levels of 6.0 and 8.0 for Pd(II) and Co(II) ions, respectively, and the presence of other metal ions did not meaningfully influence the performance of the ion‐detection due to the powerful ability of the chromoionophoric probe‐based nano‐conjugate material. The adsorption capacity of the chromoionophoric probe‐based nano‐conjugate material towards Pd(II) and Co(II) ions was investigated and the outcomes were 163.40 and 128.57 mg/g, respectively. The chromoionophoric probe‐based nano‐conjugate material could be regenerated by eluting the adsorbed Pd(II) and Co(II) ions with 0.15 M HCl solution. In addition, the material could be reused multiple times, with almost no decrease in its initial performance after regeneration. Based on the findings, the chromoionophoric probe‐based nano‐conjugate material shows potential for environmental recovery, removal, and detection of Pd(II) and Co(II) ions from electronic wastes and electroplating wastewater, indicating its potential as a multi‐function solution for environmental concerns and issue and could be even commercialized and used at a larger scale.
