▎ 摘　　要

Tetracyclines are extensively used to treat human and animal infectious diseases due to its effective antimicrobial activities. About 70-90% of its parent materials are released into the environment through urine and feces, implying they are the most frequently detected antibiotics in the environment with high ecological risks. Adsorption and photocatalysis have been promising techniques for the removal of tetracyclines due to effectiveness and efficiency. Graphene-based materials provide promising platforms for adsorptive and photocatalytic removal of tetracyclines from aqueous environment owning to distinctive remarkable physicochemical, optical, and electrical characteristics. Herein, we intensively reviewed the available literatures in order to provide comprehensive insight about the applications and mechanisms of graphene-based materials for removal of tetracyclines via adsorption and phototocatalysis. The synthesis methods of graphene-based materials, the tetracycline adsorption and photocatalytic-degradation conditions, and removal mechanisms have been extensively discussed. Finally concluding remarks and future perspectives have been deduced and recommended to stimulate further researches in the subject. The review study can be used as theoretical guideline for further researchers to improve the current approaches of material synthesis and application towards tetracyclines removal.
