At present, tetracycline antibiotics have been detected in many environments, which pose a potential threat to human health and ecosystem stability, so there is a long way to go to control them in the environment. Researchers have found that manganese oxides are commonly found in soil, sediments and desert rock paint, and have the advantages of low charge zero point, high surface activity and high redox potential, which have great research potential and application in the treatment of tetracycline pollutants. In this paper, we briefly describe the hazards of tetracycline and its pollution status, focus on the removal effect of different types of manganese oxides on tetracycline pollutants in the environment, the degradation mechanism and its environmental impact factors, and give an outlook on the future research of manganese oxides for the removal of such pollutants.
