Progress on Treatment of Mixed Tetracycline Antibiotics and Cu(Ⅱ)in Water
Tetracycline antibiotics(TCs)and Cu(Ⅱ)are often present in wastewater of animal husbandry and aquaculture.When TCs and Cu(Ⅱ)coexist,they can be converted through coordination into more toxic antibiotic-heavy metal complexes,which pose a serious threat to human health.In this paper,the pollution situation of TCs and Cu(Ⅱ)in water is introduced.The treatment methods of TCs,Cu(Ⅱ)and their mixed pollutants in water are reviewed,and the application of adsorption method in this field is emphasized.
