Enhanced sono-photocatalysis of tetracycline antibiotic using TiO decorated on magnetic activated carbon (MAC@T) coupled with US and UV: A new hybrid system.

A combined system including sonocatalysis and photocatalysis was applied for catalytic degradation of tetracycline (TC) antibiotic using TiO decorated on magnetic activated carbon (MAC@T) in coupling with ultraviolet (UV) and ultrasound (US) irradiations. MAC was fabricated via magnetization of AC using FeO nanoparticles. FESEM, EDS, TEM, BET, XRD, PL, VSM and UV-visible DRS techniques were used to characterize the catalyst features.
