Photocatalytic degradation of different antibiotics using TiO₂–carbon composites: a case study of tetracycline and ciprofloxacin

Abstract

With the in-depth study of photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics, it can be learned that photocatalysts have different performances when degrading different antibiotics. In this work, an efficient photocatalytic material was...

Insight into electrocatalytic activation of peroxymonosulfate by Ti/MnO2 anode via one-step electrodeposition approach toward degradation of levofloxacin

“…However, used and produced LFX cannot be completely digested and effectively utilized but is directly discharged into the water environment, thereby causing serious environmental pollution and ecological catastrophe. [1][2][3] To address abovementioned issues, numerous traditional methods (e.g. physical adsorption, chemical flocculation or oxidation and biodegradation) have been intensively explored for the effective removal of LFX in effluent.…”

Inverse opal manganese-doped tungsten trioxide as a high-performance Fenton-like photocatalyst for levofloxacin degradation

“…It increases bacterial resistance and affects human health seriously. 1 The characteristics of antibiotic wastewater include complex components, high COD, poor biochemistry, etc. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are usually applied for the deep treatment of wastewater.…”
