Abstract:Cefoperazone belongs to the third generation of cephalosporin antibiotics. It is accumulated in water due to its overuse and causes bacterial, environmental, and health issues. In this work, the efficiency of photocatalytic degradation of cefoperazone was studied using different types of radiation (simulated solar, UV, and LED) in the presence of different nanomaterials (ZnO and TiO2). First, the photolytic degradation of cefoperazone was examined, where UV radiation showed as most effective for cefoperazone d… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
