Use of microalgae based technology for the removal of antibiotics from wastewater: A review

TL;DR: The toxicities of antibiotics on microalgae, the mechanisms of antibiotic removal by micro algae, and the integration ofmicroalgae with other technologies such as ultraviolet irradiation (photocatalysis), advanced oxidation, and complementary microorganism degradation for antibiotic removal were discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of bioelectrochemical systems on antibiotics removal and antibiotic resistance genes: A review

TL;DR: In this paper, state-of-the-art bioelectrochemical systems for enhanced antibiotics removal are described and antibiotics removal mechanisms based on BESs are reviewed, and the effects of typical parameters, such as the electrochemical properties and initial concentration of antibiotics, applied potential, electrode material, carbon source, temperature, and salinity, on the overall performance of such systems are elaborated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immobilization of laccase on hollow mesoporous carbon nanospheres: Noteworthy immobilization, excellent stability and efficacious for antibiotic contaminants removal.

TL;DR: The immobilization of Lac on HMCs could be potentially applied in environmental remediation of antibiotics and docking results showed that some important residues played the key role in the degradation process.

Hazardous Waste Treatment Technologies

TL;DR: The article reviews the scientific literature published in 2014 on physical, chemical, and biological treatment of hazardous contaminants and environmental bioremediation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotics: An overview on the environmental occurrence, toxicity, degradation, and removal methods.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided a comprehensive overview on the occurrence of antibiotics in different environmental compartments, such as wastewater, surface water, and soil; toxicity of antibiotics toward non-target organisms, including aquatic and terrestrial organisms; and current treatment technologies for the degradation and removal of antibiotics, including adsorption, hydrolysis, photodegradation and oxidation, and biodegradation.

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

Hyperthermophilic Enzymes: Sources, Uses, and Molecular Mechanisms for Thermostability

TL;DR: This review concentrates on the remarkable thermostability of hyperthermophilic enzymes, and describes the biochemical and molecular properties of these enzymes, which are typically thermostable and optimally active at high temperatures.

Release of antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes in the effluent and biosolids of five wastewater utilities in Michigan

TL;DR: Significant differences were observed in concentrations of ARGs (except tetW and tetO) and ARB between the advanced biosolid treatment methods and the conventional dewatering and gravity thickening methods.

Residues of Veterinary Antibiotics in Manures From Feedlot Livestock in Eight Provinces of China

TL;DR: The residue levels of selected fluoroquinolones, sulfonamides and tetracyclines in 143 animal dung samples collected in 2007 from large-scale livestock and poultry feedlots in 8 provinces were determined by using ultrasonic extraction and liquid chromatography.
