Degradation of tetracycline via peroxymonosulfate activation by highly reusable Titanium dioxide/impregnated Zirconium-chitosan beads.

The nano-sized powder photocatalysts are prone to agglomeration and poor reusability, which cause secondary pollution. To avoid the loss of powder photocatalyst, Titanium dioxide/(TiO)/impregnated Zirconium (Zr)-chitosan beads were prepared using a simple cross-linking reaction for the peroxymonosulfate activation to aid the tetracycline degradation. The beads' structural, morphological and optical properties were studied using different techniques.
