ABSTRACT
Sulfonamides have been widely detected in water treatment plants. Advanced wastewater treatment for sulfonamide removal based on microalgal cultivation can reduce the ecological risk after discharge, achieve carbon fixation, and simultaneously recover bioresource. However, the general removal performance, key factors and their impacts, degradation kinetics, and potential coupling technologies have not been systematically summarized. To guide the construction and enhance the efficient performance of the purification system, this study summarizes the quantified characteristics of sulfonamide removal based on more than 100 groups of data from the literature. The biodegradation potential of sulfonamides from different subclasses and their toxicity to microalgae were statistically analyzed; therefore, a preferred option for further application was proposed. The mechanisms by which the properties of both sulfonamides and microalgae affect sulfonamide removal were comprehensively summarized. Thereafter, multiple principles for choosing optimal microalgae were proposed from the perspective of engineering applications. Considering the microalgal density and growth status, a modified antibiotic removal kinetic model was proposed with significant physical meaning, thereby resulting in an optimal fit. Based on the mechanism and regulating effect of key factors on sulfonamide removal, sensitive and feasible factors (e.g., water quality regulation, other than initial algal density) and system coupling were screened to guide engineering applications. Finally, we suggested studying the long-term removal performance of antibiotics at environmentally relevant concentrations and toxicity interactions for further research.
