TL;DR: Different aspects of PhAC removal by using membrane separation processes are reviewed, as they have been conventionally known to show high potential in the production of superior quality drinking and industrial water.

TL;DR: Higher hydrophobicity and having electron-donating groups, such as amine and hydroxyl in molecular structure leads to more effective degradation of PhACs by fungal cultures, and for recalcitrant compounds, using redox mediators increases the degradation efficiency, however they may cause toxicity in the effluent and deactivate the enzyme.

TL;DR: In this article, a long-term strategy for addressing this issue is latent in the modification of current technologies of wastewater/water treatment plants and integrating them into a holistic and circular water management system, which must be realigned to consider the real conditions and meet certain requirements set according to technical and environmental perspectives.

TL;DR: In this paper, a planetary ball mill was used to obtain nanobiochar from pine wood biochar using a central composite experimental design and response surface methodology to optimize the ball milling parameters including time, rotational speed and ball to powder mass ratio.

TL;DR: In this study, laccase was immobilized onto homemade Polyacrylonitrile-biochar composite nanofibrous membrane and the obtained biocatalyst was employed for removal of chlortetracycline, a widely used antibiotic, from aqueous media in continuous mode and the results showed that the immobilized lAccase has improved storage, temperature and pH stability compared to free l Accase.
