Light-induced catalytic transformation of ofloxacin by solar Fenton in various water matrices at a pilot plant: Mineralization and characterization of major intermediate products
(2013)
This work investigated the application of a solar driven advanced oxidation process (solar Fenton), for the degradation of the antibiotic ofloxacin (OFX) in various environmental matrices at a pilot-scale. All experiments ...
Transformation products and reaction pathways of carbamazepine during photocatalytic and sonophotocatalytic treatment
(2013)
•Degradation of CBZ during US, TiO2/UV and TiO2/UV/US processes has been evaluated.•The combined TiO2/UV/US oxidation resulted in significant enhancement of the CBZ degradation rate.•Transformation products were identified ...
Chronic ecotoxic effects to Pseudomonas putida and Vibrio fischeri, and cytostatic and genotoxic effects to the hepatoma cell line (HepG2) of ofloxacin photo(cata)lytically treated solutions
(2013)
Ofloxacin (OFL), a broad-spectrum and widespread-used photolabile fluoroquinolone, is frequently found in treated wastewaters, aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems leading to increasing concern during the past decades regarding ...
Sonophotocatalytic treatment of ofloxacin in secondary treated effluent and elucidation of its transformation products
(2013)
The extent of the degradation of ofloxacin in secondary treated effluents by means of sonolysis, photocatalysis, sonocatalysis and their combined application, sonophotocatalysis, in order to investigate the potential ...
Investigating the fate of iodinated X-ray contrast media iohexol and diatrizoate during microbial degradation in an MBBR system treating urban wastewater
(2013)
The capability of a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) to remove the iodinated contrast media (ICM) iohexol (IOX) and diatrizoate (DTZ) from municipal wastewater was studied. A selected number of clones of microorganisms ...
Biodegradation potential of ofloxacin and its resulting transformation products during photolytic and photocatalytic treatment
(2013)
The release of pharmaceuticals in the environment, as parent compounds, metabolites and transformation products, and the consequent risks posed to living organisms due to the unintended exposure of the latter to these ...
