Comprehensive analysis of NiFe₂O₄/MWCNTs nanocomposite to degrade a healthcare waste – tetracycline

Abstract

Tetracycline (TC), a commonly used antibiotic for studying bacterial illnesses in living organisms, poses a significant risk to the aquatic environment.

Visible light-driven cubic structured NiFe2O4@MWCNTs/TiO2 ternary nanocomposite for photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin

“…14,15 Since antibiotics have a role in the evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes, which have the potential to harm aquatic ecosystems and endanger human health, this scenario raises serious concerns. 16–19 As a result, several techniques have been created to solve this problem and eliminate antibiotics from water. “Heterogeneous photocatalysis” is specifically thought to be a more practical method for breaking down antibiotics in water without the requirement for an external source of hydrogen peroxide as compared to traditional and advanced oxidation procedures.…”
