Photodegradation of inderal in a photo-Fenton like system at near-neutral pH modified with catechin, a natural catecholate siderophore, was investigated under simulated sunlight. The main factors influencing the process, such as Fe(iii)-catechin complexes, pH, and catechin concentration were examined. Photodegradation of inderal was strongly dependent on pH, following the order pH 3.0 < 5.0 < 7...

Different water treatment processes (physical and chemical) exist to obtain safe water for human or food industry supply. The advanced oxidation technologies are rising as a new alternative to eliminate undesirable chemicals and waterborne diseases. In this work, we analyze the power of the photo-assisted Fenton process using Fe(II)/H2O2 and UV radiation (365 nm) to inactivate Bacillus subtilis...

To provide new insights toward the selection of the most suitable AOP for isoxazolyl penicillins elimination, the degradation of dicloxacillin, a isoxazolyl penicillin model, was studied using different advanced oxidation processes (AOPs): ultrasound (US), photo-Fenton (UV/H2O2/Fe2+) and TiO2 photocatalysis (UV/TiO2). Although all processes achieved total removal of the antibiotic and antimicro...

OBJECTIVE This study examined whether an ultraviolet light enhanced the whitening efficacy of a peroxide gel containing a photo-Fenton activator. METHODOLOGY Fifty subjects were enrolled into the trial at two geographically separate sites. As directed by the randomization keys, teeth of half of the study subjects were concurrently exposed to the whitening lamp, while the gel was on their teet...
