Performance of Ultraviolet (UV), O3, and Their Combined Processes for the Antibiotic Resistance Abatement from Swine Wastewater
ACS ES&T WATER(2024)
摘要
Swine wastewater is considered one of the major pollution sources of antibiotic resistance to the environment. In this study, the elimination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) through various treatment processes, including ultraviolet (UV), O-3, and their combined processes, in biotreated swine wastewater was investigated. The combination modes of UV and O-3 were optimized, and the mechanisms underlying ARG removal were explored by assessing the destruction of intracellular ARGs (i-ARGs) and extracellular ARGs (e-ARGs). The results indicated that the synchronous exposure to UV and O-3 (i.e., the UV/O-3 process) was the optimal combination mode, which could accelerate the removal of ARB and enhance the elimination of target ARGs (i.e., tetA, ermA, and intI1) by a maximum of 0.9-1.3 and 0.4-0.8 logs, respectively, when compared to the single ozonation and UV treatments. The concurrent destruction of i-ARGs and e-ARGs implied that the advanced oxidation properties of the UV/O-3 process compensated for the limitations of ozonation in a complex wastewater matrix and capitalized on the strengths of both UV and ozonation in damaging ARGs. Overall, UV/O-3 is a feasible polishing process, subsequent to biological treatment, for effectively abating antibiotic resistance from swine wastewater.
