Biopolymeric Ni₃S₄/Ag₂S/TiO₂/Calcium Alginate Aerogel for the Decontamination of Pharmaceutical Drug and Microbial Pollutants from Wastewater.

ABSTRACT: The ubiquitous presence of pharmaceutical drugs and microbes in the water is leading to the development of drug resistant microbes. Therefore, efficient materials that can remove or inactivate the drug and microbe contaminants are required. In this work, nickel sulfide/calcium alginate (Ni₃S₄/CA), silver sulfide/calcium alginate (Ag₂S/CA), modified titanium dioxide/calcium alginate (TiO₂/CA), and Ni₃S₄/Ag₂S/TiO₂/calcium alginate (Ni₃S₄/Ag₂S/TiO₂/CA) aerogels have been synthesized for the removal of the oxytetracycline (OTC) drug and microbial contaminants from real beverage industry wastewater. The results revealed that Ni₃S₄/Ag₂
