Photocatalytic and adsorptive performance of polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan/TiO composite for antibiotics removal: single- and multi-pollutant conditions.

A polymer-TiO macro composite (i.e., PVA-CS-TiO) was synthesized via chemical precipitation of PVA-CS-TiO blend in alkali/solvent medium and applied for the removal of three model antibiotics (i.

Photocatalytic-oxidation and photo-persulfate-oxidation of sulfadiazine in a laboratory-scale reactor: Analysis of catalyst support, oxidant dosage, removal-rate and degradation pathway.

The extent of sulfadiazine (SDZ) removal via photo-degradation (UV-C), photocatalysis with TiO (UV-C/TiO) and photo-persulfate-oxidation (UV-C/PS) was investigated in a batch reactor under different UV-C power levels (i.e. 14, 28, 42 and 56 W).
