In the last few decades, pharmaceuticals, credited with saving millions of lives, have
emerged as a new class of environmental contaminant. These compounds can have both …

This paper provides a review of the up-to-date research on the treatment of micropollutants
by UV-based processes. More than 140 scientific publications in the past 10 years were …

Abstract Ultraviolet (UV)-assisted peroxymonosulfate (PMS), persulfate (PS), and hydrogen
peroxide (H 2 O 2) advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) were investigated by comparing …

The activity and separation performance of nano-structure photocatalyst have always been
the focus in the field of environmental pollutant removal. In this work, BiOCl/diatomite …

Sulfamethoxazole (SMX), a typical sulfonamide antibiotic, has been widely detected in
secondary wastewater effluents and surface waters. In this work we investigated the …

This study investigates the degradation of an antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CPX) by the
photocatalytic, sonocatalytic and sonophotocatalytic oxidation inside a novel multi-frequency …

In this study, a comparison between electrochemically activated peroxomonosulfate (PMS)
and peroxydisulfate (PDS) using carbon anodes was conducted for the first time. PMS …

Sulphamethoxazole (SMX) is extensively used in humans and livestock, but its appearance
in natural water raises environmental concerns. This study demonstrated that SMX and its …

Roxithromycin, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin and sulfamethoxazole are frequently detected
antibiotics in environmental waters. Direct and indirect photolysis of these problematic …

The presence of pharmaceutically active compounds in aquatic bodies is a global concern,
and suitable treatment technologies are required. In this study, the efficacy of photocatalytic …
