Ketoprofen (KTF) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug frequently detected in natural and
engineering waters. Because KTF is particularly photolabile (half-life∼ 4 min), knowledge of …

Indirect photolysis induced by naturally occurring sensitizers constitutes an important
pathway accounting for the transformation and fate of many recalcitrant micropollutants in …

The aim of this study was to investigate the photolysis mechanism of ketoprofen (KET) under
simulated sunlight. The results demonstrated that the photolysis of KET aligned well with …

Photodegradation of four pharmaceuticals (ie carbamazepine, ibuprofen, ketoprofen and
17α-ethinylestradiol) in aqueous media was studied using a solar light simulator (Xe lamp …

Photoproducts of pharmaceuticals have been studied in order not to overlook their potential
risks to aquatic organisms. However, no studies have verified an equation for predicting the …

Photodegradation of 3 commonly used nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs, ketoprofen,
carprofen, and diclofenac acid, was conducted under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The kinetic …

In this work, the photochemistry of the antidepressant paroxetine (PXT) and its
photochemical fate in surface waters were investigated. The direct photolysis quantum yield …

The importance of solar-driven processes in the hydrosphere has become increasingly
evident over the past decade. The absorption of sunlight by both natural and anthropogenic …

Transformation products (TPs) may be formed during various processes, however, it was
proved that one of the main mechanisms responsible for degradation of pharmaceuticals in …

The harmful compound 4-isobutylacetophenone (IBAP) can be formed photochemically from
the anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen (IBP), upon direct photolysis (yield 25±7%, μ±σ) …
