“…The utility of plants has grown over the years in the biological remediation of pollutants. In the literature, many plant species with the ability to eliminate a wide range of environmental pollutants have been recorded (Sekulic et al, 2019;Ahmed, Faisal, Jassam, Naji & Naushad, 2020;Naji, Jassam et al, 2020).…”

In this paper we presented a case study about the removal of a pharmaceutical contamination (in this case Meropenem) from the environment using organic natural substance (in this case study is Lemna minor). The study proved the efficiency of the used material to remove the contamination of three specific contamination levels of Meropenem. The experimental testing proved the concept, the effect on two vital measures (the chemical oxygen demand – COD, and the root length), which showed improvement in both measures. The degradation mechanism was proven to be not arbitrary by testing the degradation behavior measured practically to four kinetic models. The practical work was found to fit perfectly with the Grau second order model as the simulation work included in the paper shows. Based on this study it can be proven that the dangerous chemicals resulted from the residue of a pharmaceutical substances can be removed efficiently using a totally natural environmental friendly material.

“…Among these, adsorption and advanced oxidation processes were relative cost-effective and efficient methods. Adsorption is considered to be one of the most promising methods to remove TC from aqueous solutions due to its attractive advantages such as low-cost effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and convenient operation [29,30]. Ahamed et al [28] prepared magnetic nanocomposites with a high surface area of 376 m 2 g −1 , high pore volume of 0.38 cm 3 g −1 , and the adsorption capacity of 215.3 mg g −1 for TC.…”

Water pollution induced by the tetracycline (TC) has caused global increasing attention owing to its extensive use, environmental persistence, and potential harm for human health. Adsorption and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been promising techniques for TC removal due to ideal effectiveness and efficiency. Magnetic composites (MCs) which exploit the combined advantages of nano scale, alternative sources, easy preparation, and separation from wastewater are widely used for catalysis and adsorption. Herein, we intensively reviewed the available literature in order to provide comprehensive insight into the applications and mechanisms of MCs for removal of TC by adsorption and AOPs. The synthesis methods of MCs, the TC adsorption, and removal mechanisms are fully discussed. MCs serve as efficient adsorbents and photocatalysts with superior performance of photocatalytic performance in TC degradation. In addition, the TC can be effectively decomposed by the Fenton-based and SO4•− mediated oxidation under catalysis of the reported MCs with excellent catalytic performance. Based on the existing literature, we further discuss the challenge and future perspectives in MCs-based adsorption and AOPs in removing TC.

Development of a grau model for simulating cephalexin residue removal from wastewater by using lemna minor

et al. 2021

Removal of cephalexin residues from wastewater is one of the most concerned issues in treatment plants due to the growing of the antibiotics consumption level around the world. In this study, the impact of the initial concentration of cephalexin residues on its removability by lemna minor was investigated by developing a grau model accounting for the cephalexin initial pH value. In the model, the second-order kinetic constants of adsorption were linked linearly with the influent pH values. Results showed that using lemna minor along with phytoremediation process increased the removal efficiency value to 86.5% and dropped chemical oxygen demand (COD) to 0.012 mg/L in effluent, making the removability of cephalexin from the polluted water easier. In addition, it was found that changing the grau model kinetic constants linearly (positively or negatively) with pH affects the removal efficiency. Based on the results, the best removability can be noticed at the pH level of 7 with a value of 71%.
