Article Abstract
Water pollution induced by antibiotics has garnered considerable concern, necessitating urgent and effective removal methods. This study focused on exploring ciprofloxacin (CIP) removal by duckweed and assessing CIP bioaccumulation and toxic effects within duckweed under varying dissolved organic matter categories, pH levels, and nutrient (nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)) levels. The results revealed the proficient and rapid elimination of CIP from water by duckweed, resulting in 86.17 % to 92.82 % removal efficiency at the end of the 7-day experiment. Across all exposure groups, varying degrees of CIP bioaccumulation in duckweed were evident, with uptake established as a primary pathway for CIP elimination within this plant. Additionally, five CIP metabolites were identified in duckweed tissues. Interestingly, the presence of humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) reduced CIP absorption by duckweed, with FA yielding a more pronounced impact. Optimal CIP removal was recorded at a pH of 7.5, while duckweed displayed heightened physiological stress induced by CIP at pH 8.5. Although the influence of N and P concentrations on CIP removal by duckweed was modest, excessive N and P levels intensified the physiological strain of CIP on duckweed.

This Research Paper addresses the hypothesis that wastewater characteristics in the dairy industry vary with product type and operational procedures, and that current treatment methods face limitations in managing such variability. The study examined raw and clean-in-place (CIP) wastewater from a Serbian dairy plant over three years. Physico-chemical and microbiological analyses included pH, protein, fat, carbohydrates, total solids, total microorganisms, , Enterobacteriaceae, chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and dissolved oxygen (O).

Antibiotics in wastewater have a significant threat to human health and ecosystems. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are among the most promising adsorbents for removing antibiotics from wastewater. In the present study, an environmentally friendly sodium-based cyclodextrin metal organic framework (CD-MOF) was synthesized and further modified with citric acid (CA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) to enhance its water stability and adsorption capacity.

This research investigates the synthesis and application of a bioderived xerogel (BDX) synthesized from rice husk and tannins to eliminate Ciprofloxacin (CIP) from water-based media. Xerogel was prepared via sol-gel method, incorporating rice husk ash and tannin extract, along with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a binding agent. Characterization techniques including, FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray Diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy), TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis), and BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) surface area analysis were employed to evaluate its structural and chemical properties.

This study explored the simultaneous removal of major antibiotics (amoxicillin (AMX), ciprofloxacin (CIP), and sulfamethoxazole (SMX)) and nutrients using microalgae, bacteria, and their consortia. To simplify the particular strain maintenance, the consortia were formed by combining microalgae with activated sludge from a sewage treatment plant. In batch studies, antibiotics were set at 1 mg/L, and nutrient concentrations were 1.

The use of pharmaceuticals to treat human and animal diseases has resulted in the increase of antibiotic traces in the water system and soil, thus raising concerns about the environmental aspect. In this study, sodium alginate (SA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) hydrogel microbeads were developed to enhance the adsorption of antibiotics by applying electrostatic spray in the fabrication of microbeads. Two hydrogel microbead sizes, SC-400 (~400 µm) and SC-2000 (~2000 µm), were used for the adsorption of tetracycline (TC) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) antibiotics in single and binary systems.
