This increase has been caused by the discharge of untreated or incompletely treated pharmaceutical wastewater into aquatic environments. Metronidazole is a widely used antibiotic for the treatment of infections caused by anaerobic bacteria and protozoa. The present study investigated the efficacy of nano-pumice prepared from pumice mine waste as a low-cost adsorbent for metronidazole removal from aqueous environments. The effects of input variables, including pH, contact time, nano-pumice dose, and metronidazole concentration, were investigated. The experimental design was based on central point’s using the response surface method to study adsorption. After optimizing the input variables, isotherm and kinetic studies were conducted. The properties of the adsorbent were characterized through FESEM, XRD, BET, and FTIR analyses. The results indicated that the adsorption process followed a quadratic polynomial model, with F and p values of 990.936 and less than 0.0001, respectively. Additionally, the R<sup>2</sup> was 0.9989, and the Adj-R<sup>2</sup> was 0.9979. The optimal conditions for achieving a removal efficiency of 94.55% and maximum adsorption capacity of 15.313 mg/g were found to be pH = 3, contact time = 60 min, adsorbent dose = 1.5 g/L, and metronidazole concentration = 20 mg/L. Furthermore, the adsorption process aligned with the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-first-order kinetics, as indicated by R<sup>2</sup> values of 0.9965 and 0.9859, respectively. Therefore, nano-pumice can be suggested as a natural and environmentally friendly adsorbent with significant potential for the adsorption of metronidazole and similar antibiotics from aqueous media.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":589,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"22 6","pages":"4091 - 4108"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143465897","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}

To overcome model overfitting and geographical sensitivity problems caused by an insufficient quantity of in-situ training samples, a large set of satellite-derived <span>({R}_{rs}left(lambda right))</span> in various trophic states is generated using an existing AC model. The satellite-derived <span>({R}_{rs}left(lambda right))</span>, along with a small set of in-situ <span>({R}_{rs}left(lambda right))</span>, are used to optimize thousands of unknown parameters in AC-Net. In addition, the sigmoid function is selected as the activation function in the output layer, which prevents the output of negative reflectance values. In experiments, AC-Net was compared with related AC models, including QUAC, ACOLITE, FLAASH, LaSRC, iCOR, and C2X. The experimental results demonstrated that AC-Net has better performance than the compared models, with the results of root mean squared error (RMSE) = 0.0039 <span>({text{sr}}^{-1})</span>, mean absolute percent error (MAPE) = 4.19%, and spectral angle (SA) = <span>({19.5}^{0})</span>. The testing results showed that AC-Net can avoid the output of negative <span>({R}_{rs}left(lambda right))</span> reflectance and alleviate the geographical sensitivity problem.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":589,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"22 8","pages":"6769 - 6788"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143612013","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}
