A preliminary field survey conducted among aquaculture farms identified TCT as the most widely used antibiotic, highlighting the need for effective treatment strategies. This study evaluates advanced oxidation processes-UV light and solar irradiation with ZnO photocatalysis for degrading TCT in both simulated and real aquaculture wastewater. A systematic investigation of operational parameters (pH, irradiation time and intensity, catalyst dosage, oxidant addition, competing anions, and initial TCT concentration) was conducted. The catalyst was characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) image, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The study revealed that a pseudo–first-order kinetic model was followed for TCT degradation at levels up to 90 mg/L. The effect of the presence of multiple contaminants chloroquine (CLQ) and sulphamethoxazole (SMX) on the degradation of target pollutant TCT in water was analyzed. Importantly, complete chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal was achieved even in the presence of co-contaminants CLQ and SMX. LC-QTOF analysis identified intermediate breakdown products, indicating oxidative cleavage and ring-opening reactions. Overall, this work demonstrates that solar-driven ZnO nanoparticle photocatalysis offers a cost-effective, environmentally friendly method for thorough TCT removal in complex wastewater, supporting sustainable water reuse in aquaculture.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":10306,"journal":{"name":"Clean-soil Air Water","volume":"54 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149048010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extensive land clearing has resulted in forest loss, overburden dump expansion, soil deterioration, and alterations in surface water distribution. This study evaluated land-use and land-cover change and land degradation vulnerability across 11 coal mining regions between 1998 and 2023. Satellite-derived vegetation indices, moisture, built-up, and water indices were integrated with soil analyses to assess vegetation cover and condition, surface moisture dynamics, urban expansion, hydrological landscape, and soil quality. A land degradation vulnerability index was developed through an integrated remote sensing, GIS, analytic hierarchy process, and geospatial modeling approach. Land-use classifications achieved overall accuracies of 88.35% (<i>κ</i> = 0.86) for 1998 and 92.27% (<i>κ</i> = 0.91) for 2023, while vulnerability assessment validation produced an overall accuracy of 88.37% (<i>κ</i> = 0.86). The results revealed substantial forest cover decline, expansion of mining and overburden dump areas, nutrient depletion, increased soil compaction, and localized changes in surface water distribution. Forest cover declined by up to 50% in several mining regions, whereas highly vulnerable zones expanded markedly, including a more than fivefold increase in Site 5. The judgment-based AHP assigned the highest criterion weights to elevation, vegetation condition, and surface moisture, whereas the separate site-level correlation analysis showed strong associations of LDVI with slope (<i>r</i> = 0.97), aspect (<i>r</i> = 0.96), and elevation (<i>r</i> = 0.88).

Vegetation indices (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index [NDVI], Simple Ratio Index [SR], Red Edge Index [RE], Anthocyanin Reflectance Index 2 [ARI2]) revealed clear age- and species-specific differences, with younger <i>S. sesban</i> exhibiting higher canopy vigor, while older stands of Casuarina and Eucalyptus showed spectral signatures of stress and reduced productivity. Soil analyses indicated that most heavy metals (iron [Fe], chromium [Cr], manganese [Mn], cobalt [Co], nickel [Ni], copper [Cu], zinc [Zn], cadmium [Cd], lead [Pb]) remained within safe thresholds, though localized enrichment reflected long-term wastewater irrigation. Bioaccumulation factor (BAF) calculations demonstrated species-specific uptake strategies: Casuarina and Eucalyptus acted as effective accumulators of Mn, Cu, Zn, and Pb, whereas <i>Sesbania</i> enhanced nitrogen and boron enrichment through legume-associated processes. Statistical analyses confirmed significant effects of species and plantation age on nutrient availability, while correlation patterns highlighted nutrient synergies (potassium [K]–calcium [Ca]–magnesium [Mg], phosphorus [P]–trace elements) and antagonisms (Mn with multiple nutrients).

This study elucidates the microbial mechanisms underlying land use–driven variations in soil health, characterizing microbial community structure and function across fallow and cultivation patterns, linking these to soil physicochemical properties and heavy metal dynamics, and identifying sensitive microbial indicators of soil ecological status. Results show that fallowed paddy fields significantly improve soil ecological quality by increasing moisture, organic matter, and nutrient availability, thereby promoting microbial diversity and basal metabolic activity. These fields consequently exhibit a markedly higher soil health index than upland and continuously cultivated soils. Although heavy metal contamination, particularly cadmium and nickel, remains a concern, fallow practices enhance contaminant stabilization and reduce bioavailability through improved soil conditions. Microbial analyses reveal clear land use–dependent differences, with paddy soils supporting greater diversity and more stable networks, whereas upland soils display stress-adaptive functional traits. Basal metabolism and signal transduction emerge as key mediating functions linking land use to soil health, offering sensitive indicators when combined with network metrics. On the basis of these findings, we recommend optimizing fallow management in paddy systems, implementing integrated restoration strategies for uplands, and developing microbial-informed soil monitoring frameworks.

This review critically summarizes recent advances in the biodegradation of MB by <i>S. maltophilia</i>, with emphasis on its genomic characteristics, metabolic adaptability, oxidoreductase enzyme systems, and biodegradation mechanisms. The roles of key enzymes, including laccase, multicopper oxidase, NADH-DCIP reductase, and triphenylmethane reductase, together with the physicochemical factors influencing biodegradation, are comprehensively discussed. Recent developments in biofilm-based systems, immobilized-cell technology, microbial consortia, and metabolic engineering are also highlighted to improve degradation efficiency and industrial applicability. In addition, this review critically examines the dual role of <i>S. maltophilia</i> as both an efficient bioremediation agent and an opportunistic multidrug-resistant pathogen, emphasizing the associated biosafety concerns.

The application potential of this composites for CO₂ capture was explored. The composition of the geopolymer paste is Na₂O/Al₂O₃ = 1.2, Na₂O/SiO₂ = 0.46, and H₂O/Na₂O = 13.65. After curing at 70°C for 48 h, mineral phases (excluding quartz and mica) originating from activated rectorite and bentonite completely dissolved, contributing to the formation of geopolymer and zeolite. The similar SiO₂/Al₂O₃ ratio between rectorite and zeolite NaA, along with the use of zeolite NaA as seed crystal, facilitates the spontaneous synthesis of zeolite NaA during the curing process.
