Abstract
Although the use of biochar as an adsorbent for the removal of various pollutants from wastewater is well established, the use of biochar/modified biochar for the scavenging of antibiotics from aqueous media in the Fenton-like system receives less attention. The highest kasugamycin (KSM) adsorption capacity (5.0 mg g-1) was obtained from the pristine biochar at the lowest initial pH of 3 in Fenton-like system. The Fenton-like system improved the KSM adsorption capacity of pristine biochar by 222.2%, 169.9%, and 159.9% at 25 °C, 35 °C, and 45 °C comparing to control, respectively, and it also increased adsorption capacity by 97.4%, 63.8%, and 56.8% comparing to modified biochar. The amounts of biochar applied and the Fenton-like system affected KSM mineralization and degradation. The KSM degradation products had a significant amount of small molecular organic matter (m/z 384) and a tetrahydropyran structure that was difficult to degrade. The highly efficient degradation of KSM in Fenton-like system can be attributed to the generation of large amounts of hydroxyl radical (·OH) and functional groups (C=C, C=O, etc.).
期刊介绍:
Environmental Geochemistry and Health publishes original research papers and review papers across the broad field of environmental geochemistry. Environmental geochemistry and health establishes and explains links between the natural or disturbed chemical composition of the earth’s surface and the health of plants, animals and people.
Beneficial elements regulate or promote enzymatic and hormonal activity whereas other elements may be toxic. Bedrock geochemistry controls the composition of soil and hence that of water and vegetation. Environmental issues, such as pollution, arising from the extraction and use of mineral resources, are discussed. The effects of contaminants introduced into the earth’s geochemical systems are examined. Geochemical surveys of soil, water and plants show how major and trace elements are distributed geographically. Associated epidemiological studies reveal the possibility of causal links between the natural or disturbed geochemical environment and disease. Experimental research illuminates the nature or consequences of natural or disturbed geochemical processes.
The journal particularly welcomes novel research linking environmental geochemistry and health issues on such topics as: heavy metals (including mercury), persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and mixed chemicals emitted through human activities, such as uncontrolled recycling of electronic-waste; waste recycling; surface-atmospheric interaction processes (natural and anthropogenic emissions, vertical transport, deposition, and physical-chemical interaction) of gases and aerosols; phytoremediation/restoration of contaminated sites; food contamination and safety; environmental effects of medicines; effects and toxicity of mixed pollutants; speciation of heavy metals/metalloids; effects of mining; disturbed geochemistry from human behavior, natural or man-made hazards; particle and nanoparticle toxicology; risk and the vulnerability of populations, etc.
