Heterogenous photocatalytic degradation kinetics and detoxification of an urban wastewater treatment plant effluent contaminated with pharmaceuticals
(2009)
Degradation kinetics and mineralization of an urban wastewater treatment plant effluent contaminated with a mixture of pharmaceutical compounds composed of amoxicillin (10mg L−1), carbamazepine (5mg L−1) and diclofenac ...
Ultrasonic degradation, mineralization and detoxification of diclofenac in water: Optimization of operating parameters
(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), ...
Degradation of diclofenac by TiO2 photocatalysis: UV absorbance kinetics and process evaluation through a set of toxicity bioassays
(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 ...
Analytical methods for tracing pharmaceutical residues in water and wastewater
(2007)
The focus of environmental analysis and determination of chemicals in the environment has recently been extended from the more classical pollutants to new contaminant categories including pharmaceuticals. This is attributed ...
Fate of pharmaceuticals in contaminated urban wastewater effluent under ultrasonic irradiation
(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), ...
