Journal ArticleDOI

High frequency ultrasound as a selective advanced oxidation process to remove penicillinic antibiotics and eliminate its antimicrobial activity from water.

Efraím A. Serna-Galvis, +4 more
- 01 Jul 2016 - 
TL;DR: Results show that the sonochemical treatment of a penicillinic antibiotic (oxacillin) in simulated pharmaceutical wastewater transformed the initial pollutant into substances that are biotreatable with a typical aerobic biological system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Degradation of the antibiotic oxacillin in water by anodic oxidation with Ti/IrO2 anodes: Evaluation of degradation routes, organic by-products and effects of water matrix components

Ana L. Giraldo, +4 more
- 01 Nov 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the application of electrochemical anodic oxidation for the removal of the β-lactam antibiotic Oxacillin (OXA) was tested using an undivided stirred tank reactor equipped with a DSA (Ti / IrO 2 ) anode and a zirconium spiral cathode.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative study of the effect of pharmaceutical additives on the elimination of antibiotic activity during the treatment of oxacillin in water by the photo-Fenton, TiO2-photocatalysis and electrochemical processes

Efraím A. Serna-Galvis, +4 more
- 15 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: Results will help select the most suitable technology for the treatment of water polluted with β-lactam antibiotics by determining the least inhibited efficiency of the two advanced oxidation processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancement and inhibition effects of water matrices during the sonochemical degradation of the antibiotic dicloxacillin

Paola Villegas-Guzman, +5 more
- 01 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: The sonochemical degradation of dicloxacillin was studied in both synthetic and natural waters and showed pseudo-first order kinetics as described by the Okitsu model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Removal of antibiotic cloxacillin by means of electrochemical oxidation, TiO2 photocatalysis, and photo-Fenton processes: analysis of degradation pathways and effect of the water matrix on the elimination of antimicrobial activity.

Efraím A. Serna-Galvis, +4 more
- 01 Mar 2017 - 
TL;DR: The presence of glucose in the water significantly affected the degradation of CLX by means of TiO2 photocatalysis, and in all processes, a natural matrix (mineral water) did not considerably inhibit pollutant elimination.
