Abstract:
Antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) have become increasing concerning issues, threatening human health. Persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (PS-AOPs), due to their remarkable potential in combating antibiotic resistance, have garnered significant attention in the field of disinfection in recent years. In this review, we systematically evaluated the efficacy and underlying mechanism of PS integration with various activation methods for the elimination of ARB/ARGs. These approaches encompass physical methods, catalyst activation, and hybrid techniques with photocatalysis, ozonation, and electrochemistry. Additionally, we employed Chick's model and electrical energy per log order (EE/O) to assess the performance and energy efficiency, respectively. This review aims at providing a guide for future investigation on PS-AOPs for antibiotic resistance control.
