Wavelength Dependence of the Transformation Mechanism of Sulfonamides Using Different LED Light Sources and TiO2 and ZnO Photocatalysts

Mate Nafradi et al.

Summary: This study compares the efficiency of commercially available photocatalysts, TiO2 and ZnO, in the removal of antibiotics under specific wavelength irradiation. The formation rate of (OH)-O-center dot and the contribution of photogenerated electrons to conversion were compared. The results show that TiO2 has higher efficiency in the removal of antibiotics, while ZnO performs better in certain cases.

Impact of Reaction Parameters and Water Matrices on the Removal of Organic Pollutants by TiO2/LED and ZnO/LED Heterogeneous Photocatalysis Using 365 and 398 nm Radiation

Mate Nafradi et al.

Summary: This study compares the application of high-power LED365nm and commercial, low-price LED398nm for heterogeneous photocatalysis with TiO2 and ZnO photocatalysts. The effects of light intensity, photon energy, quantum yield, electrical energy consumption, and matrices and inorganic components on radical formation were investigated. The results show that LED398nm has slower COU conversion rate compared to LED365nm, but significantly higher r(0)(7-HC)/r(0)(COU) ratio. The impact of matrices and inorganic components on the photocatalytic reaction differs for ZnO and TiO2.

Applications of Heterogeneous Photocatalysis to the Degradation of Oxytetracycline in Water: A Review

Renato Pelosato et al.

Summary: Photocatalytic processes are extensively studied as potential advanced wastewater treatments for the removal of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and other recalcitrant micropollutants from conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). This review presents recent advances in heterogeneous photocatalysis for the degradation of oxytetracycline (OTC) in water under different light irradiation conditions. Various methods to enhance catalyst performance, including doping, surface functionalization, composites, and nano-heterojunction, are discussed. The application of non-oxidic photocatalysts, specifically graphene-based nanocomposites, for the effective treatment of OTC is briefly explored.
