Title
Development of reactive iron-coated natural filter media for treating antibiotic residual in swine wastewater: Mechanisms, intermediates and toxicity
Abstract
Degradation mechanisms, surface phenomena, and the influence of co-existing organic matter on heterogeneous Fenton-like reactions were investigated using low-cost natural materials, to remove three veterinary antibiotics. Zeolite rock, laterite rock, and pumice rock were modified by adding ferric chloride. Fenton-like reactions yielded more than 50 % of antibiotic removal at a neutral pH. The modified zeolite exhibited the highest antibiotic removal efficiency. The heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction could be indicated by the simultaneous detection of Fe(II) and Fe(III) on the surface of the modified zeolite. Leaching iron was also observed to reduce the antibiotics with homogeneous Fenton-like reaction. The co-existing organic matter expressed by the COD below 400 mg/L did not have a considerable adverse impact on antibiotic removal. An H2O2 concentration as low as 20 μM was sufficient to react with the modified zeolite and degraded more than 70 % of the antibiotics at a neutral pH. The modified zeolite could be reused at least three times, with a removal efficiency of at least 80 %. The antibiotic degradation efficiencies in real treated swine wastewater were above 75 %. Moreover, the degradation intermediates and bacterial inhibition after treatment were investigated.
