Influence of UV dose on the UV/HO process for the degradation of carbamazepine in wastewater.

This study evaluates the influence of UV dose on degradation of carbamazepine (CBZ) in wastewater under UV-C (λ = 254 nm) photolysis with and without HO. The rate of degradation of CBZ exhibited a direct dependence on the intensity of incident UV irradiation as the rate of degradation was observed to increase linearly ( = 0.98) with UV intensity between 1.
