Photochemical degradation of oxytetracycline: Influence of pH and role of carbonate radical

Degradation kinetics and mechanism of oxytetracycline by hydroxyl radical-based advanced oxidation processes

“…In our previous study, we found that the degradation rate of OTC was much higher by UV/H 2 O 2 than by direct UV photolysis which could probably be attributed to the generation of highly reactive HO • [30]. In order to confirm the role of HO • , three different alcohols, i.e., tert-butanol (t-BuOH, …”

Influence of TiO2 morphology on the photocatalytic efficiency of direct Z-scheme g-C3N4/TiO2 photocatalysts for isoniazid degradation

“…In past decades, titanium dioxide (TiO 2 )-based heterogeneous photocatalysis has been used for the efficient degradation of organic compounds, dyes, pesticides and pharmaceuticals [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

Characterization of Biochar Derived from Pineapple Peel Waste and Its Application for Sorption of Oxytetracycline from Aqueous Solution

“…In the past decades, OTC has been frequently detected in liquid manure, soil, groundwater, and surface water, and ranged in concentration from a few ng/L to several μg/L (Lindsey et al 2001). Unfortunately, traditional biological treatment methods are ineffective in degrading OTC because of its persistence and recalcitrance caused by its stable naphthalene ring structure (De Liguoro et al 2003;Liu et al 2015). Therefore, even at low concentrations in the environment, OTC is potentially hazardous and toxic to the health and safety of both humans and aquatic ecosystems (Hirsch et al 1999; Sarmah et al 2006;Lv et al 2012;Rizzo et al 2013).…”
