Abstract

Tetracyclines are broad-spectrum antibiotics used as human and veterinary ailments, anticancer and antiviral agents, and for treating inflammations including arthritis and the Huntington’s disease. However, their inappropriate usage and disposal induce environmental pollution due to their persistency, hydrophilicity and limited volatility, requiring advanced remediation methods. Here, we review techniques for tetracycline removal, including adsorption, advanced oxidation and filtration. Materials to treat tetracycline pollution include aged microplastics, green materials, chemical compounds, sonocatalysts and membranes. Complete tetracycline removal is achieved by using membranes, sonocatalysis and composites. Green composites appear eco-friendly for wastewater treatment. Chemically-synthesized composites are mainly used in photocatalysis, oxidative and enzymatic degradation.

利用微塑料、绿色材料、膜和声波催化剂修复四环素污染：综述

四环素是一种广谱抗生素，可用于治疗人类和兽类疾病、抗癌和抗病毒，以及治疗包括关节炎和亨廷顿氏病在内的炎症。然而，由于其持久性、亲水性和有限的挥发性，不当使用和处置会造成环境污染，因此需要先进的补救方法。在此，我们回顾了四环素的去除技术，包括吸附、高级氧化和过滤。处理四环素污染的材料包括老化微塑料、绿色材料、化合物、声催化剂和膜。利用膜、声催化和复合材料可以完全去除四环素。绿色复合材料在废水处理中显得非常环保。化学合成的复合材料主要用于光催化、氧化和酶降解。

期刊介绍： Environmental Chemistry Letters explores the intersections of geology, chemistry, physics, and biology. Published articles are of paramount importance to the examination of both natural and engineered environments. The journal features original and review articles of exceptional significance, encompassing topics such as the characterization of natural and impacted environments, the behavior, prevention, treatment, and control of mineral, organic, and radioactive pollutants. It also delves into interfacial studies involving diverse media like soil, sediment, water, air, organisms, and food. Additionally, the journal covers green chemistry, environmentally friendly synthetic pathways, alternative fuels, ecotoxicology, risk assessment, environmental processes and modeling, environmental technologies, remediation and control, and environmental analytical chemistry using biomolecular tools and tracers.
