Journal ArticleDOI

Alam G. Trovó,Raquel Fernandes Pupo Nogueira,Ana Agüera,Amadeo R. Fernández-Alba,Carla Sirtori,Carla Sirtori,Sixto Malato +6 more
TL;DR: In this work, the photocatalytic degradation of the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX) by solar photo-Fenton at pilot plant scale was evaluated in distilled water (DW) and in seawater (SW).
Journal ArticleDOI
Photodegradation of sulfamethoxazole in various aqueous media: Persistence, toxicity and photoproducts assessment
Alam G. Trovó,Raquel Fernandes Pupo Nogueira,Ana Agüera,Carla Sirtori,Carla Sirtori,Amadeo R. Fernández-Alba +5 more
TL;DR: Daphnia magna was the most sensitive showing an increase from 60% to 100% immobilization after 30 h of irradiation when depletion of SMX was achieved, thus indicating the higher toxicity of the phototransformation products generated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decontamination industrial pharmaceutical wastewater by combining solar photo-Fenton and biological treatment.
TL;DR: Biodegradability and toxicity bioassays showed that photo-Fenton should be performed until total degradation of nalidixic acid before coupling a biological treatment, and overall DOC degradation efficiency was over 95%, of which 33% correspond to the solar photochemical process and 62% to the biological treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of water-matrix composition on Trimethoprim solar photodegradation kinetics and pathways.
TL;DR: During TiO(2) photocatalysis, TMP was completely eliminated in both water matrices at a similar rate, however, the mineralization rate was appreciably reduced in seawater, which can be explained by the presence of inorganic species acting as hydroxyl radical scavengers, and directly affecting photocatalytic efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar photocatalytic degradation of persistent pharmaceuticals at pilot-scale: Kinetics and characterization of major intermediate products
TL;DR: In this article, the technical feasibility and performance of photocatalytic degradation of anti-inflammatory drug acetaminophen (ACTP) and β-blocker atenolol (ATL) have been studied in a well-defined system of a pilot-plant scale Compound Parabolic Collectors (CPCs) under natural illumination.
