Sulfonamides (SAs) are one of the major emerging contaminants of concern, but comparative studies on the degradation of different types of SAs are still limited. This work comprehensively compared the degradation of sulfadiazine (SDZ), sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and sulfathiazole (STZ) under UV light in peracetic acid (PAA) from both experimental and theoretical aspects, as they represent two structural classes based on substituent differences. The two SAs with five-membered heterocyclic substituents (SMX, STZ) generally decomposed at faster rates, with SMX degrading up to 10 times faster than SDZ (pH = 3; PAA dosage = 80 mg/L).

The ubiquitous presence of sulfonamides (SAs) in wastewater poses serious risks to human health and ecosystem safety. This study evaluated the performance of a falling film dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) system on the removal of five SAs, namely sulfamethoxazole (SMX), sulfisoxazole (SIZ), sulfathiazole (STZ), sulfadiazine (SDZ) and sulfamerazine (SMR). Removal efficiencies >99 % were observed for all target SAs within 30 min of treatment, with pseudo-first order rate constants varying between 0.

As a sustainable approach to wastewater treatment, microalgae have been extensively used to degrade antibiotics. However, the underlying mechanisms involved in the degradation process remain unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the biotransformation mechanism of sulfathiazole (STZ) by Chlorella sorokiniana (C.

Four sulfonamide-type microbial inhibitors were studied using density functional theory (DFT) to assess their effectiveness in controlling microbial corrosion. The experimental techniques (FTIR, SEM, EIS, EFM, and AFM) are beneficial for measuring properties such as chemical composition, bond formation, electrochemical behavior, and surface topography; however, DFT can be useful as a new method for understanding microbial corrosion. Sulfacetamide (SFC), sulfamerazine (SFM), sulfapyridine (SFP), and sulfathiazole (SFT) uniformly adsorb onto the iron surface and block the active site, reducing the corrosion rate.
