Abstract:Antibiotics in wastewater may inhibit the operation of biological treatment systems. Sulfapyridine (SPY) not only has antibacterial activity, but also chelates with other substances, and its antibacterial activity becomes stronger. An enhanced hydrolysis was applied to remove antibiotics as a promising pretreatment. An increase of 10°C accelerated the SPY hydrolysis rate by 1.98–2.40 fold, and the hydrolysis half‐life of SPY was shortened by 2.92 fold when pH was increased from 3 to 11 at 85°C. Herein, the con… Show more
