This study developed a novel solid-state crosslinking method of alginate (ALG) for efficient removal of antibiotics (ATBs) traces from wastewater. Metal-ALG systems obtained by solid-state crosslinking showed promise in terms of ease of production, high efficiency, regenerability, and scalability potential. Fe-ALG and Zn-ALG demonstrated high removal capacity for certain antibiotics and could be successfully regenerated without loss of ATB removal capacity. Overall, the solid-state crosslinking method proved superior to ionotropic gelation in terms of ease of production, high cross-linking degree, and ATBs removal capacity.
Traces of antibiotics reaching aquatic environment lead to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The efficient removal of antibiotics (ATBs) traces from wastewater is essential to tackle the AMR. In this study, a novel solid-state crosslinking method of alginate (ALG) was developed and applied to specifically remove ATBs from water. A wide range of crosslinkers (Ca2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Fe3+ and Al3+) was used and the crosslinking nature, density, and distribution were evidenced by FTIR, ICP-MS, and SEM-EDS. Compared with ionotropic gelation, the novel solid-state crosslinking method proved superior in term of ease of production, high cross -linking degree, and ATBs removal capacity. Fe-ALG and Zn-ALG showed high removal capacity of ciprofloxacin (356.5 mg/g and 928.6 mg/g) and doxycycline (90 mg/g and 690 mg/g), however, they were less effective toward amoxicillin (11.5 mg/g and 6 mg/g). Removal isotherms and kinetics followed type I and pseudo-second order suggesting a chemisorption removal mechanism. Fe-ALG was successfully regenerated with no loss in ATB removal capacity. The microbiological assay showed significant reductions of antibacterial activities after ATBs removal from water. Overall, metal-ALG systems obtained by solid-state crosslinking are promising for ATBs removal from wastewater giving the ease of production, high efficiency, regenerability, and scalability potential.
