Abstract:The presence of pharmaceutically active compounds, including antibiotics, in various waters is of concern worldwide. The global handicap is that antibiotics derivatives, even when present in low concentrations in the environment, can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The main purpose of this research was to degrade amoxicillin (AMX), which rapidly transforms into various degradation products (DPs) that can prove resistant to removal from water sources. To this end, the use of TiO2 nanoc… Show more
