Remediation of tetracycline pollution using microplastics, green materials, membranes and sonocatalysts: a review
AI summary Read the abstract
This review evaluates remediation methods for tetracycline antibiotic pollution, including adsorption onto aged microplastics, membrane filtration, sonocatalysis, and green composites, finding that combinations achieve complete removal while eco-friendly green composites offer sustainable wastewater treatment options. Notably, aged microplastics can act as tetracycline adsorbents, illustrating the dual role of microplastic pollution as both a contaminant carrier and a potential remediation medium with complex environmental trade-offs.
Simultaneous adsorption of Pb2+ and tetracycline onto pristine and aged polypropylene microplastics
Microplastics Removal from Wastewater Using Activated Carbon Adsorbent: A Case Study of Microplastics Pollution Control in Water System
AI summary Read the abstract
This chapter evaluates activated carbon as an adsorbent for removing microplastics from wastewater, finding it can be integrated into existing treatment plant infrastructure with minimal modifications. Improving microplastic removal efficiency at wastewater treatment plants is a critical intervention point because treated effluent is one of the largest pathways delivering microplastics into rivers, coastal waters, and ultimately drinking water sources.
Adsorption of Tylosin and Tetracycline onto Microplastics: Behavior and Effects of Adsorbents and Salinity
AI summary Read the abstract
Batch adsorption experiments showed that polyethylene, polystyrene, and PVC microplastics can adsorb the antibiotics tylosin and tetracycline, with PVC showing the highest adsorption capacity and salinity enhancing tylosin uptake through a salting-out effect. This confirms that environmental microplastics act as mobile carriers for antibiotic pollutants, potentially spreading antimicrobial resistance to new ecosystems and amplifying the health risks of plastic pollution.
Sorption of Pollutants on Microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics act as sponges for environmental pollutants like pesticides, heavy metals, and pharmaceuticals, absorbing and concentrating these chemicals in ways that can amplify their toxicity when ingested by marine animals — and potentially by humans.
