Degradation of diclofenac by TiO2 photocatalysis: UV absorbance kinetics and process evaluation through a set of toxicity bioassays
Rizzo, L.; Meric, S.; Fatta-Kassinos, Despo; Guida, M.; Russo, F.; Belgiorno, V. (2009)In the present study the degradation kinetics and mineralization of diclofenac (DCF) by the TiO2 photocatalysis were investigated in terms of UV absorbance and COD measurements for a wide range of initial DCF concentrations ...

Degradation of diclofenac during sonolysis, ozonation and their simultaneous application
Naddeo, Vincenzo; Belgiorno, V.; Ricco, Daniele; Fatta-Kassinos, Despo (2009)Diclofenac is a widely used anti-inflammatory non-steroidal drug that escapes conventional urban wastewater treatment trains because of its resistance to biodegradation. Therefore it is frequently found in treated effluents, ...

Fate of pharmaceuticals in contaminated urban wastewater effluent under ultrasonic irradiation
Naddeo, V.; Meric, S.; Fatta-Kassinos, Despo; Belgiorno, V.; Guida, M. (2009)The application of sonolysis (US) for remediation of wastewater is an area of increasing interest. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ultrasonic (US) process on the degradation of pharmaceuticals (diclofenac (DCF), ...

Ultrasonic degradation, mineralization and detoxification of diclofenac in water: Optimization of operating parameters
Naddeo, V.; Belgiorno, V.; Fatta-Kassinos, Despo; Mantzavinos, D.; Meric, S. (2010)The 20kHz ultrasound-induced degradation of non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (DCF) was investigated. Several operating conditions, such as power density (25–100W/L), substrate concentration (2.5–80mg/L), ...
