Drugs degrading photocatalytically: Kinetics and mechanisms of ofloxacin and atenolol removal on titania suspensions
(2010)
The conversion of the antibiotic ofloxacin and the ß-blocker atenolol by means of TiO2 photocatalysis was investigated. Irradiation was provided by a UVA lamp at 3.37×10-6einstein/s photon flux, while emphasis was given ...
Photocatalytic degradation of 17α-ethynylestradiol in environmental samples by ZnO under simulated solar radiation
(2012)
BACKGROUND: Recently, the fate of emerging micro-contaminants in environmentally relevant samples has attracted considerable attention. Semiconductor photocatalysis may offer an appealing methodology to treat such contaminants
Photocatalytic (UV-A/TiO2) degradation of 17α-ethynylestradiol in environmental matrices: Experimental studies and artificial neural network modeling
(2012)
The efficiency of heterogeneous photocatalysis to degrade 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2), a synthetic estrogen hormone, in environmentally relevant samples was investigated. In most cases, UV-A radiation at a photon flux of ...
UV and simulated solar photodegradation of 17α-ethynylestradiol in secondary-treated wastewater by hydrogen peroxide or iron addition
(2015)
•EE2 degradation in wastewater under UVC or simulated solar light was studied.•The effect of several operating parameters on process efficiency was investigated.•Estrogenicity in wastewater matrices is not completely removed ...
