To critically evaluate the environmental fate, toxicological impacts, and comparative performance of diverse remediation technologies for imidacloprid contamination.
Synthesized literature on the physicochemical properties, persistence, and toxicological impacts of imidacloprid across aquatic and soil environments.
Assessed and compared remediation pathways, including advanced oxidation, electrochemical, adsorption, membrane-based, and biological systems, across metrics of efficiency, scalability, and sustainability.
Electrochemical and advanced oxidation processes achieve rapid degradation and superior mineralization, but face constraints regarding energy costs, electrode expenses, and toxic intermediate formation.
Adsorption and membrane filtration provide rapid, scalable pollutant removal but predominantly transfer imidacloprid into secondary waste streams without achieving complete detoxification.
Biological treatments offer low-energy, eco-friendly degradation alternatives, but are limited by slower reaction kinetics, environmental sensitivity, and scarce field-scale validation.
