Antibiotics, as one of the emerging pollutants, are non-biodegradable compounds and long-term exposure to them may affect endocrine, hormonal, and genetic systems of human beings, representing a potential risk for both the environment and human health. The presence of antibiotics in surface waters and drinking water causes a global health concern. Many researches have stated that conventional methods used for wastewater treatment cannot fully remove antibiotic residues, and they may be detected in receiving waters. It is reported that nanoparticles could remove these compounds even at low concentration and under varied conditions of pH. The current study aimed to review the most relevant publications reporting the use of different nanoparticles to remove antibiotics from aqueous solutions. Moreover, meta-analysis was conducted on the results of some articles. Results of meta-analysis proved that different nanoparticles could remove antibiotics with an acceptable efficiency of 61%. Finally, this review revealed that nanoparticles are promising and efficient materials for degradation and removal of antibiotics from water and wastewater solutions. Furthermore, future perspectives of the new generation nanostructure adsorbents were discussed in this study.

Adsorption and detoxification of pharmaceutical compounds from wastewater using nanomaterials: A review on mechanism, kinetics, valorization and circular economy.

In this paper, we report on the superior photocatalytic properties of silver orthophosphate (Ag3PO4) sub-microcrystals prepared using different synthesis methods: precipitation (PM), precipitation-calcination (PM-C), and precipitation-hydrothermal (PM-H), on the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) cationic dye and methyl orange (MO) anionic dye using white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). The structure of the Ag3PO4 sub-microcrystals obtained was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Rietveld refinement, micro-Raman (M-Raman), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to investigate the surface chemical composition and states. The shape, average crystal size, and morphological changes were observed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The results indicated that all samples have cubic body-centered, P 43 ´ n (218) space group, with the following crytallite size: PM (103.4 nm), PM-C (56.7 nm) and PM-H (123.8 nm). Also, it was observed the optical band gap values of 2.23, 2.15 and 2.16 eV of the samples PM, PM-C and PM-H, respectively. For both dyes, the PM-C sample has higher photodegradation efficiency (98%) and apparent quantum efficiency (φx = 0.081) in relation to PM and PM-H samples. In addition, especially to RhB, the apparent quantum efficiency of samples practically remains unchanged by three photocatalytic cycles due to use of white light emitting diode (WLEDs) illumination.
