Simultaneous removal of micropollutants, antibiotic resistant bacteria, and antibiotic resistance genes using graphitic carbon nitride under simulated solar irradiation

Jiexi Zhong et al.

Summary: The prevalence of micropollutants and antibiotic resistance in aquatic environments is a growing concern for public health and ecological security. Conventional wastewater treatment processes have limited efficiency in removing these contaminants, leading researchers to propose photocatalytic processes as a promising solution. In this study, the photocatalytic performance of a urea-based graphitic carbon nitride was evaluated for simultaneous removal of multiple pollutants and antibiotic resistant bacteria. The results show that this material has significant effectiveness in removing pollutants and antibiotic resistance, making it a potential candidate for wastewater treatment.

A mechanistic study on removal efficiency of four antibiotics by animal and plant origin precursors-derived biochars

Xinyu Zhang et al.

Summary: Extensive research has been conducted on the utilization of biochar for pollutant removal via sorption, with a focus on the relationship between sorption strength of organic pollutants and their sorption site energy distribution. The removal efficiency of organic pollutants on biochars remains unknown, but recent studies have shown promising results using various precursor materials and charring temperatures. Polar interactions, site energy distribution, and precursor selection all play a crucial role in the efficiency of pollutant removal by biochars.
