Abstract:Progesterone (PGT) is a steroid hormone produced naturally by humans. Advent of pharmaceuticals has given rise to synthetic production of PGT as a medicine for various pregnancy related issues. As a result of synthetic production and utilization rate of PGT, they have become an emerging contaminant in water sources worldwide. Conventional wastewater treatment is not equipped to remove steroid contaminants. Hence, current study attempted the degradation of10 mgL− 1 of PGT in water using photocatalysis (PC) foll… Show more
