Removal of tetracycline from water by Fe-Mn binary oxide

Tetracycline adsorption by H3PO4-activated carbon produced from apricot nut shells: A batch study

“…The low-cost adsorbent that is produced by raw materials, such as agricultural waste, makes adsorption an operational process. Recent studies of producing adsorbent are sludge-derived adsorbents (Ocampo-Pérez et al, 2012) (Rivera-utrilla et al, 2013a), porous carbon from waste hydro char (Zhu et al, 2014), petroleum coke-derived highly porous activated carbon (D. , FeMn binary oxide (Liu et al, 2012), amino-Fe (III) functionalized SBA15 (Z. , sponge like RCGEM, polyacrylamide cryogels (Ers, 2013) and activated carbon produced from agricultural waste like bamboo charcoal (Liao et al, 2013), macadamia nut shells (Martins et al, 2015) and vine wood (Pouretedal and Sadegh, 2014). In this study, activated carbon was synthesized using hard shell of apricot stone as precursor which was used for TC batch adsorption in aqueous solution.…”

Photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline using nanosized titanium dioxide in aqueous solution

“…After medication, more than 70 % of TC antibiotics were released in active form into the environment (Daghrir and Drogui 2013). In recent years, the presence of TC in surface water and even in ground water has been also reported (Liu et al 2012). For example, up to 20 mg/L of TC was detected in manure, and half of the 139 rivers surveyed in the USA had detection of antibiotics .…”

“…Therefore, the development of new efficient approaches is required to decrease the TC antibiotic discharge into the environment. In general, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are the most efficient technology for degradation of various refractory pollutants in aqueous solutions and, during the last few decades, have been widely applied for removal of many organic pollutants such as ozonation (Khan et al 2010), Fenton (Zgajnar Gotvajn et al 2013), photo-Fenton (Liu et al 2012), ultrasound waves (Mahvi 2009;Mahvi et al 2009), sonochemical (Ifelebuegu et al 2014), photosonochemical processes (Mahvi and Maleki 2010;Hoseini et al 2013b), ultraviolet irradiation (Dobaradaran et al 2010), and sulfate radical-based oxidation (Tay et al 2013;Lin et al 2014;Deng et al 2014). In recent years, AOPs have been demonstrated to be an effective technology for the removal of pharmaceuticals, including TC antibiotics (Maroga et al 2012).…”

Removal of tetracycline from aqueous solution by a Fe3O4 incorporated PAN electrospun nanofiber mat

“…Compared to other methods, adsorption has prevailing properties such as fast removal rate, and low cost. Many adsorbents have been reported in the removal of TC, such as metal oxides (Gu and Karthikeyan, 2005;Liu et al, 2012a), clays (Figueroa et al, 2004;Liu et al, 2012b), resins (Zhang et al, 2014) and activated carbons (Ji et al, 2009(Ji et al, , 2010. Among them, magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) have drawn great interests in the past few years due to their high specific surface areas, large adsorption capacities and magnetic properties Dai et al, 2012;Bao et al, 2013;Zhou et al, 2012).…”
