Antibiotics and pharmaceutical products cannot remove by conventional sewage treatment. In this work, an effective adsorbent magnetic multiwalled carbon nanotube (Fe3O4@MWCNTs) was synthesized by co-precipitation of MWCNTs with Fe3O4 and used for removal of Metronidazole from aqueous solutions. Response surface methodology on central composition design (CCD) was applied for designing of experiments and building of models for Metronidazole removal before a determination by HPLC. Four factors including pH, the adsorbent dose, time, and temperature were studied and used for the quadratic equation model to the prediction of optimal points.  By solvent the equation and considering the regression coefficient (R2 =0.9997), the optimal points obtained as follows: pH =2.98; adsorbent dosage =2.16 g; time =22 min and temperature = 37.9 o C. The isotherm study of adsorption showed that the metronidazole adsorption on Fe3O4@MWCNTs follows the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacity (AC) is 215 mg g-1 obtained from Langmuir isotherm.

The CO2 sequestration by microalgae is thought to be one of the most sustainable strategies to relieve global warming. To produce 1 ton of microalgal dry biomass, 2 ton of CO2 is required. However, insufficient supply of CO2 will limit microalgal growth, and excessive CO2 both means wasting and inhibits microalgal growth. In the present study, the dissolved CO2 concentration in culture limiting and inhibiting microalgal growth (Chlorella vulgaris) in a bubble column photobioreactor was studied. The experimental results showed that the dissolved CO2 concentration ranging from 107μmol/L to 1500 μmol/L could meet microalgal growth’s need, which provides the guidance for microalgal CO2 biofixation with high efficiency.
