From Removal to Recovery: An Evaluation of Antibiotics Removal Techniques from Wastewater

Abstract

: Due to the potential risks to human health and ecosystems, antibiotics contamination is an emerging environmental concern. Currently, numerous technologies have been widely explored for the removal of antibiotics from wastewater, including membrane bioreactor, biological process, bioelectrochemical system, constructed wetland and microalgae. In this review, the fundamental mechanisms and removal efficiency of such technologies were discussed. Besides, current challenges and further direction of the antibiotic removal are present, in which the recovery of antibiotics was highlighted. Thus, a shift of antibiotics from the removal to recovery would be a focus in the future for the sustainable development of society.
