“…Hydroxyl derivatives or oxidation, elimination, and condensation products resulted during the photocatalytic transformation of all studied antibiotics. These products have been reported in many papers containing the photocatalytic degradation pathways of antibiotics [33][34][35][36]. However, the application of these derivatives as precursors of new drugs has not been considered yet.…”

The aim of our study was to assess the possibility of using the photocatalytic process conducted in the presence of TiO2 to obtain new stable derivatives of antibacterial drugs. The possibility of introducing hydroxyl, chlorine, or bromide groups into antibiotics molecules was investigated. The experiments were conducted in aqueous solutions in the presence of TiO2-P25 as a photocatalyst, Cl− and Br- ions, and antibiotics belonging to eight different chemical classes. All experiments were initiated by UVa radiation. The kinetics of photocatalytic reactions and their quantum yield were determined, and the stable products were identified. All of the antibiotics used in the experiments underwent a photocatalytic transformation, and the quantum yields were in the range from 0.63 to 22.3%. The presence of Br- or FeCl3 significantly increased the efficiency of the photocatalytic process performed in the presence of TiO2, although Br- ion also acted as an inhibitor. Potentially biologically active chlorine derivatives from Trimethoprim, Metronidazole, Chloramphenicol, and bromine derivatives from Trimethoprim, Amoxicillin were obtained under experimental conditions. The potentially inactive halogen derivatives of Sulfamethoxazole and hydroxyl derivatives described in the literature were also identified.

“…At present, the treatment methods of antibiotic wastewater mainly include physical method, chemical method and biological method [6–11] . It has been widely used in treating antibiotic wastewater because chemical method can treat some organic wastewater which is difficult to biodegrade [7,12,13] . As a kind of chemical process, photocatalytic technology, as a green, efficient, economic and environmental protection technology, has great potential in water environment treatment.…”

Herein, a boron nitride‐dye composite photocatalytic material is synthesized by a simple and environmentally friendly method. In this method, boron nitride (BN) is added to Methylene blue (MB), Congo red (CR), Rhodamine B (RhB), methyl orange (MO) solution respectively, the formed composites (BN‐RhB, BN‐MB, BN‐MO and BN‐CR) can further work as photocatalyst to degrade tetracycline (TC) under visible light irradiation. The degradation rate of TC are 278.5, 303.3, 89 and 115.5 times by BN‐RhB, BN‐MB, BN‐MO and BN‐CR higher than that of BN. This is from the sensitization of dyes for BN and these dyes have different absorption ranges for visible light. After the adsorption of BN for RhB‐MO, RhB‐CR, MB‐MO and MB‐CR mixed solutions, BN‐RhB‐MO, BN‐RhB‐CR, BN‐MB‐MO and BN‐MB‐CR composites are formed. Compared with BN, their photodegradation rate for TC are improved by about 102.75, 118, 388 and 460.75 times, respectively. The photodegradation rate of BN‐MB‐CR (k=0.01843) is better than that of BN‐MB (k=0.01213), being from that binary dyes are more conducive to improve the electron transfer efficiency than single dyes. The involved photo‐active species during photodegradation process and the photodegradation intermediate products of TC have detected as well. The photodegradation rate (k=0.01213) of BN‐MB for TC is also higher than that of g‐C3N4 (k=0.00599), g‐C3N4‐MB (k=0.01027), TiO2 (k=0.01061) and TiO2‐MB (k=0.01163). This work is helpful to develop an environment‐friendly water treatment material.

Two-Dimensional Nanomaterials for the Removal of Pharmaceuticals from Wastewater: A Critical Review

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The removal of pharmaceuticals from wastewater is critical due to their considerable risk on ecosystems and human health. Additionally, they are resistant to conventional chemical and biological remediation methods. Two-dimensional nanomaterials are a promising approach to face this challenge due to their combination of high surface areas, high electrical conductivities, and partially optical transparency. This review discusses the state-of-the-art concerning their use as adsorbents, oxidation catalysts or photocatalysts, and electrochemical catalysts for water treatment purposes. The bibliographic search bases upon academic databases including articles published until August 2021. Regarding adsorption, high removal capacities (>200 mg g−1) and short equilibrium times (<30 min) are reported for molybdenum disulfide, metal-organic frameworks, MXenes, and graphene oxide/magnetite nanocomposites, attributed to a strong adsorbate-adsorbent chemical interaction. Concerning photocatalysis, MXenes and carbon nitride heterostructures show enhanced charge carriers separation, favoring the generation of reactive oxygen species to degrade most pharmaceuticals. Peroxymonosulfate activation via pure or photo-assisted catalytic oxidation is promising to completely degrade many compounds in less than 30 min. Future work should be focused on the exploration of greener synthesis methods, regeneration, and recycling at the end-of-life of two-dimensional materials towards their successful large-scale production and application.
