High efficient degradation of Cefixime using UV/TiO2 photocatalytic process: A comparison between photocatalytic and photolytic
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Introduction: The existence of pharmaceuticals in aquatic ecosystem, their persistence and possible effects on living organisms and inefficient systems in removal of these compounds from water and wastewater are a growing concern. In this research, the UV/TiO2 photocatalytic degradation of Cefixime was investigated so as to identify if this method was efficient for removal of Cefixime or not. Methods: The experimental parameters like as primary concentration of Cefixime, catalyst dosage, solution pH and time were assessed and optimized. The photocatalytic analysis was based on residual Cefixime identification by HPLC. The chromatographic conditions were comprised of a reversed‐phase C18 column with mobile phase consisting of 45:55 v/v mixture of Acetonitrile: water. Results: The optimum removal efficiency for Cefixime was obtained after 60 min (90.98%) when 1 mg/L TiO2 was used at pH=3. The increase of catalyst concentration from 1 to 70 mg/L led to a decrease in degradation efficiency. Conclusion: According to results, UV/TiO2 process could be a promising technique for the removal of Cefixime with good efficiency in a relatively short reaction time

Optimization of Photocatalytic Degradation of Phenol Using Simple Photocatalytic Reactor
The phenol photocatalytic degradation was investigated using heterogeneous catalyst Ag-doped ZnO nanowires under UV irradiation. Ag-ZnO nanowires were immobilized on borosilicate glass via a simple hydrothermal technique. Preliminary photodegradation studies were performed with Ag-ZnO nanowires at various concentrations of phenol (10 60 mg/L) at undiluted pH. After determination of the optimal ...

In this paper, the photocatalytic (UV-A/TiO2) degradation of two steroid hormones: norethisterone and danazol in aqueous medium has been studied using immobilized titanium dioxide as photocatalyst. The photolytic degradation (degradation without photocatalyst) of the two hormones was also investigated. UV-A irradiation was provided by black light lamp 18 W. The photocatalytic and photolytic deg...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic Degradation of Acetaminophen
The photocatalytic degradation of a common analgesic (acetaminophen) with titanium dioxide irradiated with low energy ultraviolet light (365 nm) was studied in order to determine the effect of several parameters such as catalyst’s weight, photochemical effect, and initial concentration. The results indicate that acetaminophen is degraded in the order of 4% by the photochemical effect. The prese...
