“…4 For this purpose, various methods are followed at the research and commercial level, including chlorination, 5 peroxidation, 6 UV irradiation, 7 reverse osmosis 8 and others. 9 Despite their effectiveness, such methods still suffer from a number of drawbacks. For example, water chlorination produces hazardous chlorinated hydrocarbon by-products in water.…”

“…Presently, several methods have been utilized for the removal of antibiotics including advanced oxidation [3], membrane separation [4], ozonation, photochemical degradation [5], and adsorption processes [6,7]. Adsorption method is considered as one of the most applicable technologies compared to other technologies cited, due to it low cost, no sludge formation, simple operations [1,8,9].…”

Manganese dioxide was laden hooked on biochar sourced from chicken feather to obtain a biochar-supported manganese dioxide (BSM) composite. In order to reduce the costs of acquisition and minimise the disposal of adsorbents, prepared BSM composite were employed in the sequestration of Levofloxacin (LEVO) from aqueous environment. The physico-chemical features and the adsorption mechanisms of prepared BSM, prior and after the adsorption of LEVO molecules were revealed by Scanning Electron Microscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy techniques. The influence of adsorption parameters including BSM dose, initial concentration, temperature and residence time were studied. The removal of LEVO was significantly influenced by all parameters. Equilibrium data has its fitness in the following order: Redlich-Peterson ˃ Langmuir ˃ Freundlich models. The maximum adsorption capacity of BSM for LEVO was 104.13 mg/g. The kinetic analysis indicates best fittings for pseudo-second-order model suggesting chemisorption as controlled mechanism. Besides, liquid film and intraparticle diffusion had a vital influence on the LEVO sequestration process. Exothermic and spontaneous nature of LEVO uptake by BSM was revealed by thermodynamic analysis. The findings suggested that prepared BSM show high sorption capacity, and recyclability potential towards separation of LEVO from contaminated pharmaceutical wastewater.

“…Adsorption-based approaches are among the decentralized methods that have been investigated to remove microbial contaminants in drinking water 14 because this technology restricts horizontal gene transfer associated with reactive species-based disinfection. 15 In lieu, graphene oxide was used to exclude Staphylococcus aureus in water, 16 BiOCl microspheres showed strong binding toward MDRB, 17 and dichalcogenides caused irreparable cell damage. 18 Meanwhile, adsorbents rich in silver and zinc have received tremendous attention.…”

The adsorption efficiency of different Ag/ZnO heterostructures was investigated for the removal of multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecium (MDR_EF) harboring multiple resistance genes from tap-water. The concentration of the precursors influences the microstructures of the adsorbents; however, it did not significantly affect the adsorption efficiency. The maximum adsorption capacity, q e , (34.11 CFU/g), was obtained for Ag 1 Zn 3.5 . The kinetic studies revealed that Ag 1 Zn 1 and Ag 1 Zn 2 adsorbents agreed to the pseudo-first-order kinetic equation and adsorbents Ag 2 Zn 1 , Ag 3.5 Zn 1 and Ag 1 Zn 3.5 agreed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation. Initial tap-water pH range was beneficial for the adsorption and the pH of the treated tap-water was within the WHO tap water recommendation (6.5-8.5), whereas the effect of ionic strength, anionic and cationic interference was insignificant in the adsorption of MDR_EF onto the different heterostructure. Interestingly, the MDR_EF could retain its cell membrane integrity and resistance genes, suggesting that surface adsorption was the primary mechanism for the removal.
