Ultrahigh adsorption of tetracycline on willow branche-derived porous carbons with tunable pore structure: Isotherm, kinetics, thermodynamic and new mechanism study
TL;DR: The WBAC-850-4 obtained at 850°C and alkali/biochar ratio of 4:1 exhibited the largest specific surface area (3342 m2/g) and total pore volume (1.912 cm3/g), displaying the ultrahigh TC adsorption capacity of 1300mg/g at 298 K as mentioned in this paper.

Emerging investigators series: occurrence and fate of emerging organic contaminants in wastewater treatment plants with an enhanced nitrification step
Yue Xing,Yaochun Yu,Yujie Men +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the occurrence and removal of emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) during wastewater treatment processes and understand the role of enhanced nitrification treatment in removing EOCs.
Journal ArticleDOI
A method to study antibiotic emission and fate for data-scarce rural catchments.
TL;DR: A new framework to evaluate the emission and fate of typical antibiotics for data-scarce catchments with uncertainty analysis was developed and provided an effective alternative to evaluating the ecological risks of antibiotics in catchments where sufficient monitored data are unavailable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence and fate of antibiotics in advanced wastewater treatment facilities and receiving rivers in Beijing, China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the occurrence and removal of 13 antibiotics in five wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) with advanced wastewater treatment processes in Beijing, China, and found that Ozonation process was more effective in removing target antibiotics compared to the coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation process and sand filtration process.

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.

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.
