Adsorption and Photocatalytic Degradation Kinetics of Pharmaceuticals by TiO2 Nanowires During Water Treatment
Abstract
The adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of 15 different pharmaceuticals in the presence or absence of UV was comparatively studied using titanium dioxide (TiO2) anatase and rutile nanowires as well as commercially available TiO2 (P25) nanoparticles. Both anatase and rutile nanowires were grown under environmentally benign hydrothermal conditions. The kinetic adsorption studies demonstrate adsorption is usually complete within 20–40 min. …
