TLDR
The aim of the present paper is to critically review the fate and removal of various antibiotics in wastewater treatment, focusing on different processes (i.e. biological processes, advanced treatment technologies and disinfection) in view of the current concerns related to the induction of toxic effects in aquatic and terrestrial organisms.About:

Removal of hazardous organics from water using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs): plausible mechanisms for selective adsorptions.
Zubair Hasan,Sung Hwa Jhung +1 more
TL;DR: The adsorptive purifications of contaminated water with MOFs are discussed, in order to understand possible applications of MOFs in clean water provision and plausible adsorption or interaction mechanisms and selective adsorptions are summarized.

Occurrence and fate of emerging contaminants in municipal wastewater treatment plants from different geographical regions-a review.
TL;DR: Many antibiotics were detected in the influents and effluents of WWTPs at concentrations close to or exceeding the predicted no-effect concentrations (PNECs) for resistance selection.

TL;DR: The obtained results show the presence of 125 substances (80% of the target compounds) in European wastewater effluents, in concentrations ranging from low nanograms to milligrams per liter, which allow for an estimation to be made of a European median level for the chemicals investigated in WWTP effluent waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorptive removal of antibiotics from water and wastewater: Progress and challenges.
TL;DR: The efficiency for removing antibiotics from water and wastewater by different adsorbents has been evaluated by examining their adsorption coefficient (Kd) values, and the future research challenges on process integration, production and modification of low-cost adsorptive materials are elaborated.
