Ciprofloxacin is one of the antibiotics predominantly used to treat bacterial infections, however excess usage, and release of antibiotic from various sources to the environment can cause severe risks to human health since it was considered as emerging pollutant. This study deals with the intimately coupled photocatalysis and biodegradation (ICPB) of ciprofloxacin using gCN/CdS photocatalytic semiconductor and eco-friendly renewable loofah sponge as biocarrier in the ICPB. The photocatalyst gCN/CdS was prepared and their synergistic photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin were assessed and the results shows that gCN/CdS (20%) exhibit 79% degradation efficiency in 36 h.

Triclosan is considered as recalcitrant contaminant difficult to degrade from the contaminated wastewater. Thus, promising, and sustainable treatment method is necessary to remove triclosan from the wastewater. Intimately coupled photocatalysis and biodegradation (ICPB) is an emerging, low-cost, efficient, and eco-friendly method for the removal of recalcitrant pollutants.
