The resulting biochar exhibited a large specificsurface area (933.39 m^(2)/g), a rich porous structure (1.044 cm3/g), and abundant active sites.Consequently, the prepared boron-doped porous biochar exhibited higher efficiency in adsorbingtetracycline with a maximum adsorption capacity of 413.223 mg/g, which significantlyexceeded that of unmodified biochar andmost commercial and reported adsorbents.The correlation analysis between the adsorption capacity and adsorbent characteristics revealedthat the formation of the –BCO_(2) group enhanced π–π electron donor–acceptor interactionsbetween boron-doped porous biochar and tetracycline. This mechanism mainlycontributed to the enhanced adsorption of tetracycline by boron-doped porous biochar. Additionally,the as-prepared boron-doped porous biochar exhibited broad applications in removingantibiotics (tetracycline), phenolics (bisphenol A), and dyes (methylene blue andrhodamine B). Moreover, the boron-doped porous biochar exhibited satisfactory stability,and its adsorption capacity can be nearly completely regenerated through simple heat treatment.This study provides new insights into the effectiveness of boron-doped carbonaceousmaterials in removing antibiotic contaminants.展开更多

文摘Antibiotics,as an emerging pollutant due to their extensive use and difficulty in biodegradation,can cause harm to health through bioaccumulation.To address this,various photocatalysts have been developed for rapid antibiotic removal.However,their low concentrations limit mass transfer efficiency,resulting in suboptimal performance.Adsorption is crucial for enhancing photocatalytic efficiency.In this study,a series of binary heterojunction catalysts(x%BWO@STHP)were synthesized,consisting of Bi_(2)WO_(6)(BWO)grafted with sulfonated triptycene-based hypercrosslinked polymer(STHP).The high specific surface area of STHP,combined withπ-πconjugation and ionic interactions with antibiotics,significantly enhances adsorption capacity.This facilitates effective contact between low-concentration pollutants in aqueous solutions and the active sites of the catalyst.The formation of a Z-scheme heterojunction between BWO and STHP facilitates photogenerated charge separation,and further significantly improves photocatalytic degradation performance.Specifically,the 20%BWO@STHP catalyst achieved rapid adsorption equilibrium for oxytetracycline(OTC),doxycycline(DOX),and tetracycline(TC)within 2 min and completely degraded them after 15 min of irradiation.Compared to pristine BWO,the photocatalytic reaction rate constants are significantly increased,being 9.69 times higher for OTC and 13.45 times higher for DOX.The catalyst exhibits excellent reusability and holds promising potential for practical applications.

文摘Antibiotics are widespread in aquatic environments due to their extensive use in human healthcare and ani-mal husbandry.However,research on the occurrence and bioaccumulation of antibiotics in aquatic organisms within shallow wetland lakes remains limited.This study investigated the occurrence and bioaccumulation of ten commonly used antibiotics in the Baiyang Lake,northern China’s largest shallow wetland lake.The results indicated that sulfonamides and fluoroquinolones were the predominant antibiotics in surface water,whereas fluoroquinolones and macrolides were more prevalent in sediment.Fluoroquinolones demonstrated significant potential for bioaccumulation in targeted aquatic organisms,including both animals and plants(Carassius au-ratus and Phragmites australis).The bioaccumulation of antibiotics in Carassius auratus was correlated with their solubility,whereas in Phragmites australis,this was associated with their octanol-water partition coefficients and molecular weights.Ecological risk assessment indicated that most antibiotics posed minimal to low risk levels.However,four antibiotics were exceptions:clarithromycin(12.5%)and sulfamethoxazole(6.25%)presented a high risk in surface water samples,while norfloxacin(25.0%)and ciprofloxacin(25.0%)posed a high risk in sediment samples.Norfloxacin,ciprofloxacin,and roxithromycin were identified as key indicator antibiotics for enhancing the local monitoring and control of antibiotic contamination based on four criteria:(1)high con-centrations,(2)frequent detection,(3)capacity for bioaccumulation,and(4)ecological risk levels.This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the status of antibiotic contamination,bioaccumulation characteristics,and ecological risk in Baiyang Lake,thereby supporting efforts to monitor and regulate antibiotic pollution.

文摘To simultaneously enrich,separate,and determine five fluoroquinolone antibiotics(FQs)in marine crude drugs(MCDs),seawater and seafood,we conducted this study using vortex assisted dispersed liquid-liquid microextraction(DLLME),followed by capillary electrophoresis(CE)-UV.A single-variable optimization was employed to examine the factors influencing the separation effect of CE and the extraction efficiency of DLLME,including buffer solution,organic solvent,separation voltage,extractant,dispersant,and sample solution pH.Under the optimal conditions,the baseline separation of the five FQs was achieved within 6 min.The analytical performance of the method was assessed using six types of actual samples,including three MCDs of hippocampus,clam,and kelp,seawater,and two seafood of prawn and pomfret,demonstrating good linearity ranging from 0.1-5 or 0.01-5μg/mL.The limits of detection(LODs)and limits of quantification(LOQs)for the five FQs in MCDs were 0.0022-0.0292 and 0.0066-0.0973μg/mL,respectively.The LODs and LOQs in seawater and seafood were 0.0009-0.0262 and 0.0029-0.0874μg/mL,respectively.The matrix effects of this method were evaluated in the hippocampus,seawater,and prawn,and the results show that DLLME could effectively eliminate matrix interference.Satisfactory recovery rates were achieved in all the six tested actual samples.This developed DLLME-CE method was proven simple to operate,accurate and reliable,with high sensitivity,making it suitable for the analysis of multiple antibiotic residues in complex matrices.

文摘Chlorinated antibiotics pose great challenges in efficient removal,while for the first time,this work greatly enhanced their electrocatalytic dechlorination performance by construction of non-noble metal Co_(3)O_(4)/g-C_(3)N_(4) heterojunctions to improve process cost-effectiveness.The Co_(3)O_(4)/g-C_(3)N_(4) heterojunction demonstrated an effective removal of 93.6%thiamphenicol(TAP)within 45 min,with the rate constant(0.0584 min^(-1))that was 2.4 and 2.8 times that of Co_(3)O_(4) and g-C_(3)N_(4) alone,respectively.The formation of heterojunctions facilitated electron transfer,enriched the electron density on Co_(3)O_(4),and enhanced the adsorption of pollutants as well as the desorption of degradation intermediates.The enhanced production of atomic hydrogen(H*)of Co_(3)O_(4)/g-C_(3)N_(4),which increased by 13.6-28.2 times,contributed more to pollutant removal(64.0%),much higher than that of Co_(3)O_(4)(37.3%)and g-C_(3)N_(4)(6.1%).The energy barrier for H_(2) formation on Co_(3)O_(4)/g-C_(3)N_(4)(0.75 eV)was higher than that on Co_(3)O_(4)(-1.84 eV),supporting that it could stabilize H*and inhibit the formation of H_(2).The Co_(3)O_(4)/g-C_(3)N_(4) heterojunction exhibited stable performance with less impact by pH and co-existing ions,and posed effectiveness for the dechlorination of typical chlorinated antibiotics.This study offers an efficient and sustainable strategy for constructing heterojunctions to enhance the performance of non-noble metal catalysts in electrocatalytic dechlorination.

文摘Agricultural soil is related to food security and human health,antibiotics and heavy metals(HMs),as two typical pollutants,possess a high coexistence rate in the environmental medium,which is extremely prone to inducing antibiotic-HMs combined pollution.Recently,frequent human activities have led to more prominent antibiotics-HMs combined contamination in agricultural soils,especially the production and spread of antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs),heavy metal resistance genes(MRGs),antibiotic resistant bacteria(ARB),and antibiotics-HMs complexes(AMCs),which seriously threaten soil ecology and human health.This review describes the main sources(Intrinsic and manmade sources),composite mechanisms(co-selective resistance,oxidative stress,and Joint toxicity mechanism),environmental fate and the potential risks(soil ecological and human health risks)of antibiotics and HMs in agricultural soils.Finally,the current effective source blocking,transmission control,and attenuation strategies are classified for discussion,such as the application of additives and barrier materials,as well as plant and animal remediation and bioremediation,etc.,pointing out that future research should focus on the whole chain process of“source-processterminal”,intending to provide a theoretical basis and decision-making reference for future research.
文摘Solar-driven Fenton-like reactions are promising strategies for degrading pharmaceutical wastewater to address environmental challenges and antibiotic pollution.However,its efficacy is limited by suboptimal light absorption efficiency,rapid charge recombination,and inadequate interfacial charge transfer.In this study,an inorganic/organic S-scheme photo-Fenton system of pseudobrookite/carbon nitride(FTOCN)was synthesized via a hydrothermally coupled calcination process for the effective purification of tetracycline antibiotics under visible-light irradiation.The optimized FTOCN-2 heterostructure exhibits a significantly enhanced TC degradation capacity of 90%within 60 min.The rate constant of FTOCN-2 is 1.6 and 5.2 times greater than those of FTO and CN,respectively.Furthermore,FTOCN exhibits high antibacterial efficacy,highlighting its potential application in the purification of natural water.Measurements via a range of analytical techniques,including Kelvin probe force microscopy,density functional theory calculations,in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy,corroborate the S-scheme mechanism.This study provides a novel perspective for the development of photo-Fenton systems with S-scheme heterojunctions for water purification.

文摘Exploration of stable metal single-site supported porous graphitic carbon nitride(PCN)nanostructures and the development of maximum atom utilization for enhanced photocatalytic oxidation of antibiotics remains a challenge in current research.This work proposed a one-step thermal copolymerization to obtain Cu(Ⅰ)doping porous carbon nitride(CUCN)through a spontaneously reducing atmosphere by urea in a covered crucible.The obtained CUCN had crumpled ultrathin nanosheets and mesoporous structures,which possessed higher specific surface areas than PCN.From X-ray absorption near edge structure(XANES)and Fourier transform extended X-ray absorption fine structure(FT-EXAFS)spectra analysis,the Cu doping existed in the oxidation state of Cu(Ⅰ)as single atoms anchored on the 2D layers of CN through two N neighbors,thereby facilitating efficient pathways for the transfer of photoexcited charge carriers.Furthermore,the photoluminescence(PL)spectra,electrochemical impedance spectra(EIS)and transient photocurrent response test proved the improved separation and transfer of photoexcited charge carriers for Cu(Ⅰ)introduction.Consequently,the photocatalytic activity of CUCN was much better than that of PCN for antibiotics norfloxacin(NOR),with 4.7-fold higher degradation reaction rate constants.From species-trapping experiments and density function theory(DFT)calculations,the Cu single atoms in Cu-N_(2)served as catalytic sites that could accelerate charge transfer and facilitate the adsorption of molecular oxygen to produce active species.The stable Cu(Ⅰ)embedded in the layer structure led to the excellent recycling test and remained stable after four runs of degradation and even thermal regenerated treatment.The degradation paths of NOR by CUCN under visible light were also demonstrated.Our work sheds light on a sustainable and practical approach for achieving stable metal single-atom doping and enhancing photocatalytic degradation of aqueous pollutants.
文摘Production of synthetic antibiotics has rapidly expanded to meet the increasing demands in human healthcare,animal husbandry,and agriculture.Meanwhile,however,substantial quantities of untreated antibiotics entered the agricultural environment through animal waste,reclaimed wastewater,or biosolids.The existence of drugs in farmland will not only have adverse effects on plant growth and productivity but also lead to antibiotics accumulation and drug resistance.To address this emerging drug contamination issue,this article conducts an indepth and comprehensive analysis of the research on antibiotic pollution in cropland and crops within 20 years.In this article,the bioaccumulation mechanisms of antibiotic in crops were systematically analyzed and discussed,with emphasis on the effects of important influencing factors such as the physico-chemical properties of antibiotics,cultivation environment,and plant morphology.Additionally,this article briefly discusses the various antibiotic extraction and analytical methods,as well as calculation indexes on human risk assessment.At last,the author further analyzed the environmental challenge of antibiotic resistance and provided insights into pollution remediation pathways for future research.

文摘Both the broad-spectrum bactericidal properties of disinfectants and the inhibitory effects of antibiotics pose potential threats to the activity,functionality,and probiotic properties of Lactid acid bacteria(LAB).Therefore,it is essential to systematically evaluate the tolerance of lactic acid bacteria to common disinfectants and antibiotics.This study assessed 60 LAB strains isolated from the fermented foods for their tolerance to seven disinfectants and nine antibiotics.The results indicated that,compared to pathogenic bacteria,most LAB exhibited stronger tolerance to disinfectants.Sub-inhibitory concentrations of disinfectants inhibited biofilm formation in most LAB,while sub-inhibitory concentrations of glutaraldehyde tended to promote biofilm formation.This suggests that commonly used disinfectants can eliminate pathogenic bacteria without killing LAB,providing guidance for disinfectant use.LAB were highly sensitive to ampicillin and chloramphenicol,while showing some tolerance to norfloxacin,polymyxin,and sulfamethoxazole.This indicates LAB have a notable antibiotic resistance profile,which includes both natural resistance characteristics and instances of acquired resistance,along with multiple drug resistance and cross-resistance between antibiotics and disinfectants.This study provides an important guidance for disinfection practices in industrial utilizing LAB,such as food and biomedicine,and offers a reference for the use of antibiotics.

文摘Piezocatalytic technology demonstrates significant potential for effectively degrading pollutants and facilitating green chemical reactions,indicating promising development prospects.In this study,multi-flaw MoS_(2) nanosheets were synthesized via a hydrothermal method,and CuS nanoparticles were loaded onto their surface to form CuS/MoS_(2) piezocatalysts.The 40%CuS/MoS_(2) nanocomposite achieved an 86%degradation rate of TC under low-power(100 W,40 kHz)ultrasonic irradiation,which are 1.53 and 1.75 times higher than that of pure MoS_(2) and CuS,respectively.Furthermore,piezoresponse force microscopy(PFM)confirmed the excellent piezocatalytic performance of the composite material.The piezocurrent images revealed a significant enhancement in the piezoelectric properties of 40%CuS/MoS_(2),which is attributed to the construction of the CuS/MoS_(2) heterojunction promoting the separation of electrons and holes.This research provides a novel conceptual framework for enhancing the performance of piezocatalytic degradation.

文摘Introduction:Infections are the most feared complication of transrectal prostate biopsies,along with growing concerns of antibiotic resistance.Our institution transitioned to a transperineal approach without use of perioperative antibiotics or bowel preparations.We aimed to compare the safety outcomes associated with transperineal and transrectal prostate biopsy techniques.Materials and Methods:A retrospective analysis of patients who underwent transrectal and transperineal prostate biopsies at our institution from 2019–2022 was performed.Results:We identified 319 patients—174 transrectal and 145 transperineal.8 patients who had transperineal biopsy(5.5%)received peri-operative antibiotics,compared to 100%with transrectal biopsy.35.86%of transperineal patients received a bowel preparation,compared to 100%in the transrectal group.44.14%and 49.43%of patients received a prior prostate biopsy in the transperineal and transrectal groups,respectively.Patients in the transperineal biopsy group had zero infectious complications,1 ER visit,and zero 30-day readmissions.This is compared to 9 infectious complications(5.17%,p=0.005),8 ER visits(4.60%,p=0.036),and 730-day readmissions(4.02%,p=0.015)in the transrectal group.Conclusions:In a single institution series,patients undergoing transperineal biopsy had fewer infectious complications compared to those undergoing transrectal biopsy.Despite only a small percentage of patients receiving perioperative antibiotics and a majority of patients not receiving a bowel preparation in the transperineal group,there were zero infectious complications or 30-day readmissions.With greater infectious complications with transrectal biopsy and growing antibiotic resistance,we underline the safety of transperineal prostate biopsy which can largely be done without perioperative antibiotics or a bowel preparation.
文摘BACKGROUND Post-operative infection is a common and serious complication following drugeluting trans arterial chemo embolization(D-TACE)in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),potentially compromising treatment efficacy and increasing morbidity.AIM To investigate the risk factors associated with post-operative infection in HCC patients undergoing D-TACE,and to provide evidence for clinical prevention and targeted intervention strategies.METHODS Clinical data of 77 primary HCC patients who underwent D-TACE in our hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Patient demographics,laboratory test results,tumor characteristics,and surgery-related parameters were collected.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for post-operative infection.RESULTS Post-operative infection occurred in 20 cases(25.97%)among the 77 patients.Univariate analysis showed that age≥65 years,Child-Pugh grade B,tumor diameter≥5 cm,operation time≥120 minutes,preoperative albumin<35 g/L,and comorbid diabetes were significantly associated with post-operative infection(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified Child-Pugh grade B(OR=2.851,95%CI:1.426-5.698),operation time≥120 minutes(OR=2.367,95%CI:1.238-4.523),and preoperative albumin<35 g/L(OR=2.156,95%CI:1.147-4.052)as independent risk factors for post-operative infection.CONCLUSION Liver function status,operation time,and preoperative albumin level are significant factors affecting post-operative infection in HCC patients undergoing D-TACE.For high-risk patients,enhanced perioperative management,appropriate timing of surgery,and active improvement of nutritional status should be implemented to reduce the risk of post-operative infection.

文摘Developing environmental-friendly non-metal photocatalysts for the efficient removal of antibiotics from environment is a significant challenge.The construction of heterojunction is regarded as a powerful strategy to enhance the photodegradation efficiency of photocatalysts for pollutants,being due that this strategy can effectively suppress the recombination of the photo-induced electron and hole.In this research,a novel double Z-scheme BN/C_(60)/g-C_(3)N_(4) heterojunction was successfully synthesized via one-step synthetic approach.Based on a series of experimental characterization,BN/C_(60)/g-C_(3)N_(4) is most likely formed via the interaction between N element of BN and g-C_(3)N_(4) with C_(60) under UV-light irradiation.The band structures of BN,C_(60),g-C_(3)N_(4) and the internal electric field among them suggest that BN/C_(60)/g-C_(3)N_(4) may has a direct double z-type band arrangement,which facilitates efficient charge transfer.The photodegradation rate of BN/C_(60)/g-C_(3)N_(4) for tetracycline reached 90.1%,which is 2.9 times higher than that observed with BN and 2.3 times higher than that of g-C_(3)N_(4).BN/C_(60)/g-C_(3)N_(4) exhibits remarkable photocatalytic performance across a wide pH range and in the influence of different anions.This study offers significant insights about how to design double z-scheme metal-free photocatalyst with high photodegradation efficiency for antibiotic.

文摘As antibiotic pollutants cannot be incompletely removed by conventional wastewater treatment plants,ultraviolet(UV)based advanced oxidation processes(AOPs)such as UV/persulfate(UV/PS)and UV/chlorine are increasingly concerned for the effective removal of antibiotics from wastewaters.However,the specific mechanisms involving degradation kinetics and transformation mechanisms are not well elucidated.Here we report a detailed examination of SO_(4)•−/Cl•-mediated degradation kinetics,products,and toxicities of sulfathiazole(ST),sarafloxacin(SAR),and lomefloxacin(LOM)in the two processes.Both SO_(4)•−/Cl•-mediated transformation kinetics were found to be dependent on pH(P<0.05),which was attributed to the disparate reactivities of their individual dissociated forms.Based on competition kinetic experiments and matrix calculations,the cationic forms(H_(2)ST^(+),H_(2)SAR^(+),and H_(2)LOM^(+))were more highly reactive towards SO_(4)•−in most cases,while the neutral forms(e.g.,HSAR^(0)and HLOM^(0))reacted the fastest with Cl•for the most of the antibiotics tested.Based on the identification of 31 key intermediates using tandem mass spectrometry,these reactions generated different products,of which the majority still retained the core chemical structure of the parent compounds.The corresponding diverse transformation pathways were proposed,involving S−N breaking,hydroxylation,defluorination,and chlorination reactions.Furthermore,the toxicity changes of their reaction solutions as well as the toxicity of each intermediate were evaluated by the vibrio fischeri and ECOSAR model,respectively.Many primary by-products were proven to be more toxic than the parent chemicals,raising the wider issue of extended potency for these compounds with regards to their ecotoxicity.These results have implications for assessing the degradative fate and risk of these chemicals during the AOPs.

文摘This study introduced a microwave-assisted pyrolysis method for the rapid and efficientpreparation of boron-doped porous biochar. The resulting biochar exhibited a large specificsurface area (933.39 m^(2)/g), a rich porous structure (1.044 cm3/g), and abundant active sites.Consequently, the prepared boron-doped porous biochar exhibited higher efficiency in adsorbingtetracycline with a maximum adsorption capacity of 413.223 mg/g, which significantlyexceeded that of unmodified biochar andmost commercial and reported adsorbents.The correlation analysis between the adsorption capacity and adsorbent characteristics revealedthat the formation of the –BCO_(2) group enhanced π–π electron donor–acceptor interactionsbetween boron-doped porous biochar and tetracycline. This mechanism mainlycontributed to the enhanced adsorption of tetracycline by boron-doped porous biochar. Additionally,the as-prepared boron-doped porous biochar exhibited broad applications in removingantibiotics (tetracycline), phenolics (bisphenol A), and dyes (methylene blue andrhodamine B). Moreover, the boron-doped porous biochar exhibited satisfactory stability,and its adsorption capacity can be nearly completely regenerated through simple heat treatment.This study provides new insights into the effectiveness of boron-doped carbonaceousmaterials in removing antibiotic contaminants.
