Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of ciprofloxacin antibiotic by Homogeneous Fenton oxidation: Hybrid AHP-PROMETHEE method, optimization, biodegradability improvement and identification of oxidized by-products.
TL;DR: Biodegradability of wastewater was determined in terms of BOD5/COD ratio, showing that HFO process is able to improve wastewater biodesgradability from zero to 0.42.

ZSM-5-(C@Fe) activated peroxymonosulfate for effectively degrading ciprofloxacin: In-depth analysis of degradation mode and degradation path
TL;DR: It was elucidated that the 1O2-dominated electrophilic reaction and the ZSM-5-(C@Fe) complex PMS-dominated nucleophilic reaction were the main pathways for CIP degradation and the radical degradation pathway (·OH and SO4-˙) plays auxiliary role.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mass loading and emission of thirty-seven pharmaceuticals in a typical municipal wastewater treatment plant in Hunan Province, Southern China.
TL;DR: Mass balance analysis indicated that degradation was the predominant removal pathway for most compounds, and adsorption onto sludge combined with a minor portion of degradation explained for the reduction of tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones, whereas macrolides were recalcitrant to both two processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immobilization of nanoscale zero-valent iron particles (nZVI) with synthesized activated carbon for the adsorption and degradation of Chloramphenicol (CAP)
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified zero-valent iron particles (nZVI) immobilized by Enteromorpha prolifera based-activated carbons were applied for Chloramphenicol (CAP) treatment.

TL;DR: The results highlight the importance of considering antibiotic-to-antibiotic transformations in UV-based processes as well as the apparent molar absorptivity and fluence-based pseudo-first-order rate constants for fluoroquinolone products.

Antibiotics in the aquatic environment - A review - Part II
TL;DR: This review brings up important questions that are still open, and addresses some significant issues which must be tackled in the future for a better understanding of the behavior of antibiotics in the environment, as well as the risks associated with their occurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global perspective on the use, sales, exposure pathways, occurrence, fate and effects of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) in the environment
TL;DR: This paper has attempted to summarize the latest information available in the literature on the use, sales, exposure pathways, environmental occurrence, fate and effects of veterinary antibiotics in animal agriculture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of antibiotics in the aquatic environment.
TL;DR: From the large number of ground water samples that were taken from agricultural areas in Germany, no contamination by antibiotics was detected except for two sites, which indicates that intake from veterinary applications to the aquatic environment is of minor importance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Veterinary antibiotics in the aquatic and terrestrial environment
TL;DR: A review of the available data on the present use of veterinary antibiotics in agriculture, on the occurrence of antibiotic compounds and resistant bacteria in soil and water and demonstrates the need for further studies as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of antibiotics in conventional and advanced wastewater treatment: implications for environmental discharge and wastewater recycling.
TL;DR: Certain traditional parameters, including nitrate concentration, conductivity and turbidity of the effluent were assessed as predictors of total antibiotic concentration, however only conductivity demonstrated any correlation with total antibiotics concentration.
