Degradation Properties of Ibuprofen Using Photocatalytic Process

Photocatalytic Degradation of Ibuprofen Using TiO2 and Ecotoxicological Assessment of Degradation Intermediates against Daphnia similis

Several pharmaceutical compounds have been detected in natural aqueous systems and ibuprofen (IBF), one of the most consumed medicament, has been detected in many countries. The degradation efficiency of IBF under TiO2/UV radiation was evaluated. Optimum degradation results were observed using 20 mg∙L−1 of TiO2, pH 7.8 and 5 mg∙L−1 of IBF. Under these experimental conditions total IBF removal w...

High efficient degradation of Cefixime using UV/TiO2 photocatalytic process: A comparison between photocatalytic and photolytic

Introduction: The existence of pharmaceuticals in aquatic ecosystem, their persistence and possible effects on living organisms and inefficient systems in removal of these compounds from water and wastewater are a growing concern. In this research, the UV/TiO2 photocatalytic degradation of Cefixime was investigated so as to identify if this method was efficient for removal of Cefixime or not. ...

Photocatalytic dye degradation properties of Zinc Copper Ferrites nanoparticles

In the present study, new multi-components spinel ferrite Zinc doped metallic ferrites are investigated. The synthesized compounds consisting of Zinc copper ferrite nanostructures were developed using the Co-precipitation technique. Powder X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) confirms the formation of the spinel phase for all the samples. The lattice constant was studied through powder X-ray diffrac...

Antimicrobial Activity and Photocatalytic Degradation Properties of Zinc Sulfide Nanoparticles Synthesized by Using Plant Extracts

Biological synthesis of zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanoparticles (NPs) was prepared by a simple co-precipitation method using methanol plant extracts of Tridax procumbens, Phyllanthusniruri, and Syzygium aromaticum. The as-prepared ZnS NPs was examined by several physiochemical techniques such as X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transf...
