Removal of Sulfonamide Resistance Genes in Fishery Reclamation Mining Subsidence Area by Zeolite.

A majority of subsidence lakes were reclaimed as fish ponds, but the widespread use of antibiotics has caused the pollution of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). This paper uses zeolite as a filter material to construct a horizontal submersible wastewater treatment device and explores its effect on the removal of conventional pollutants and sulfonamide ARGs in wastewater. The results showed that the removal of total nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen by the zeolite filter media were 59.
