“…An in-depth overview of different Fenton processes, including single-Fenton and coupled-Fenton processes, reaction parameters optimization for wastewater treatment is reviewed by Zhang et al [39]. Classical Fenton or coupled-Fenton processes have been successfully applied to degrade TC, including photo-Fenton [34], sono-Fenton [40], and electro-Fenton process [41].…”

“…found to remove 93.6% TC within 60 min of reaction with 31.8% removal efficiency of TOC [52]. Wang et al reported more than 90.7% TC degradation when authors applied ultrasound to 0.2 mM Fe 2+ and 2 mM H 2 O 2 in a novel enhanced sonolysis process [40]. In a recent study, the mesoporous bimetallic Fe/Co catalyst was reported to degrade TC optimally (86% removal rate) at Fe to Co ratio of 2:1, pH 5-9, H 2 O 2 30 mmol, and initial TC concentration of 30 mg L −1 [53].…”

Environmental fate of tetracycline antibiotics: degradation pathway mechanisms, challenges, and perspectives

Tetracycline pollution is a growing global threat to aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity due to its unprecedented use in aquaculture, livestock, and human disease prevention. The influx of tetracycline may annihilate the microbial ecology structure in the environment and pose a severe threat to humans by disturbing the food chain. Although significant research data are available in the literature on various aspects of tetracycline, including detection techniques, degradation mechanisms, degradation products, and policy statements to curtail the issue, there is a scarcity of a report to compile the recent data in the literature for better analysis and comparison by the policymakers. To achieve this paucity in knowledge, the current study aims at collecting data on the available degradation strategies, mechanisms involved in biodegradable and non-biodegradable routes, the main factor affecting degradation strategies, compile novel detection techniques of tetracycline antibiotics in the environment, discuss antibiotic resistance genes and their potential role in degradation. Finally, limitations in the current bioremediation techniques and the future prospects are discussed with pointers for the decision-makers for a safer environment.

Pharmaceutical wastes such as antibiotics in the industrially polluted water are hazardous for the aquatic ecosystem and the environment and, hence, need to be adequately treated. Prompt and efficient degradation makes the microwave (MW) technique a cutting edge technology. Apart from promptness and efficiency, the ideal MW catalysts need to be thermally robust, recyclable, and economic. The coprecipitation synthesized highly crystalline spinel nickel ferrite (SNFO, E g ∼1.76 eV, M s ∼20 emu/g) and zinc ferrite (SZFO, E g ∼2.47 eV, M s ∼4 emu/g) atomic sheets are good MW absorbers and result in ∼90% and ∼86% MW degradation efficiency, respectively, for the tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) antibiotic. The whole reaction is completed within 15 min, and it demonstrates the recyclability with the catalyst being unaltered. The ferrites are not only of low cost but also thermally robust and magnetically retrievable. The microwave degradation exhibits the pseudo-second-order kinetics. The quality of water after the degradation, especially the carbon content, has been quantified, and the degradation pathways have also been determined.

“…The degradation of amoxicillin and tetracycline was reported by this technique (Novak et al 2012;Safari et al 2015;Wang and Jian 2015). In the case of amoxicillin, the sulfate radicals are produced using ultrasound-activated oxone in the presence of cobalt ion.…”

Water pollution by pharmaceutically active compounds is an emerging issue. Toxicological studies reveal that pharmaceuticals are indeed toxic for living organisms. The lack of suitable treatment technology for the complete removal of pharmaceuticals is therefore a major challenge. Advanced oxidation processes are emerging removal techniques that have many advantages versus conventional technologies. Many studies indicate that advanced oxidation processes, either in single or in combination with other degradation techniques, can enhance the degradation of pharmaceuticals in aqueous solutions. Here, we review the degradation of pharmaceuticals by sonolysis, an oxidation processes using ultrasound. In this technique, hydroxyl radicals are generated by pyrolytic cleavage of water molecules. We review the influence of operational parameters, additives and hybrid techniques on the degradation of pharmaceuticals. The maximum degradation of organic compounds was observed in the frequency range of 100-1000 kHz, which is in the high-frequency medium-power ultrasound. Even though almost all the experiments presented more than 90 % removal and good biodegradability of the target compound, good mineralization and the toxicity removal were hardly achieved. The efficiency of the degradation varies with water matrixes and varying pH. Major pathways of degradation are hydroxylation, dehalogenation, demethylation, decarboxylation, deamination, etc. More hybrid techniques have to be developed to scale up the application of ultrasound.
