Degradation of Ciprofloxacin by Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Nanoparticles: Optimization of Conditions, Toxicity, and Degradation Pathway

The popular use of ciprofloxacin is often irrational, so it causes environmental pollution such as resistance. solution to overcome due degradation by using TiO2 nanoparticles. nanoparticles performance influenced environment light source, pH solvent, duration lighting and mass. residual levels determination was carried out a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Toxicity test products with used Escherichia coli bacteria. Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) determine the type product optimum condition for 5 hours white mercury UV lamp 50 mg solvent 5.5. toxicity low. smallest identified m/z p-fluoraniline (m/z 111).
