Simultaneous removal of nitrate, manganese, and tetracycline by Zoogloea sp. MFQ7: Adsorption mechanism of tetracycline by biological precipitation

Regenerable chitosan-embedded magnetic iron oxide beads for nitrate removal from industrial wastewater

“…size and surface area of the beads, type of the adsorbent material, pH of the wastewater, and nitrate ions concentration in wastewater. 51 Due to the magnetic nature of the Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles in the IECBs, the recovery of the loaded beads for stripping and reuse can be guaranteed through the application of a magnetic eld. 3.7.2 Adsorption isotherms.…”

Enhanced adsorption of hydroquinone by transition metals and heteroatom-codoped biochar: Preparation, performance, and mechanism

“…Phenolic compounds and their derivatives are common sources of industrial production. The rapid growth development of industrial wastewater results in the deposition of phenolic pollutants discharged from the production of printing, pharmaceuticals, and paper (Chang et al 2021). When water bodies are affected by a certain amount of phenolic compounds, it results in an ecological imbalance and disruption of biological diversity, the degradation of the ecological environment, and the disturbance of the ecological equilibrium (Phan et al 2019;Shi et al 2018).…”

“…Hydroquinone may lead to skin sensitization and pose a signi cant risk of severe health damage, including kidney and digestive tract impairment as well as other diseases upon prolonged exposure due to its biological toxicity (Han et al 2022). Moreover, the persistent nature of hydroquinone renders it highly detrimental to the surface water quality and poses a signi cant threat to organisms and the environment (Chang et al 2021). Consequently, the removal of hydroquinone from wastewater has become a pressing concern in water treatment before it is discharged into water bodies (Sun et al 2022).…”

Enhancing the Mn-Removal Efficiency of Acid-Mine Bacterial Consortium: Performance Optimization and Mechanism Study

“…Thus, the limitation of previous studies was that the most isolated bacteria could not tolerate the higher concentrations of Mn in real wastewater. More importantly, the reported MnOB used in the remediation were mostly pure cultured bacteria, in which the removal efficiency was not stable and the bacterial community system was easily destroyed by the changing environment [ 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Since the above-mentioned disadvantages have greatly limited the applications of these bacteria in environmental remediation, additional MnOB with high tolerance and stability urgently need to be discovered.…”
