Photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline using MWCNT/TiOnanocomposite was investigated under UVC irradiation. The effective operational parameters included pH, irradiation time, photocatalyst dosage, weight ratio of MWCNT to TiO and tetracycline concentration and were studied consecutively. Complete removal of tetracycline concentrations of up to 10 mg/L was obtained at MWCNT to TiO ratio of 1.5 (w/w%), pH 5, photocatalyst dosage of 0.2 g/L. Pseudo-first order kinetic model was best fitted with the experimental results (R: 0.91-0.98 for different tetracycline concentrations). Based on TOC analysis, mineralization was 37% in the same reaction conditions for initial tetracycline concentration of 10 mg/L and reached to 83% after 300 min. In the case of real pharmaceutical wastewater, the COD concentration of 2267 mg/L decreased to 342 mg/L after 240 min in the same operational conditions.

A straightforward one-step hydrothermal method is introduced for synthesizing highly efficient red fluorescence carbon dots (R-CQDs), utilizing Heena leaf (Lawsonia inermis) powder as the carbon precursor. The resulting R-CQDs exhibit excitation at 540 nm and emission at 675 nm, a high absolute photoluminescence (PL) with quantum yield of 40% in ethanol. Various physicochemical characterization was employed to confirm successful formation of R-CQDs including UV-Vis Spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction Spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy.

The accelerated growth of the economy and advancements in medical technology have led to the discharge of a diverse range of organic pollutants into water sources. Recent investigations into water treatment have demonstrated the potential for integrating photocatalysis with techniques such as photocatalytic persulfate activation and the Photo-Fenton process for more efficient wastewater management. Iron-based photocatalysts responsive to visible light offer several advantages, including non-toxicity, safety, affordability, and excellent chemical and optical properties.
