Due to the inability of conventional wastewater treatment procedures remove organic pharmaceutical pollutants, active components remain in and even reach tap water. In terms scientific community focuses on β-blockers due their extensive (over)usage moderately high solubility. this study, photocatalytic activity V2O5 was investigated through degradation nadolol (NAD), pindolol (PIN), metoprolol (MET), mixture under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation For preparation V2O5, facile hydrothermal...
The Autonomous Province (AP) of Vojvodina in Serbia is blessed with abundant surface water resources yet suffers from significant organic pollution due to inadequate waste management practices. In line AP Vojvodina’s sustainability strategy, this project focuses on developing innovative technologies for managing industrial and removing pollutants resources. main objective create an efficient environmentally sustainable solution integrated effluent pollutant removal Vojvodina. Specific goals...
In this study, Cu-doped TiO2 combined with natural zeolite (ZT) was synthesized and applied as a fixed powder layer on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) tablets. The material’s morphology, structural, chemical properties were characterized using high-resolution scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis. antioxidant capacity evaluated by assessing the neutralization of hydroxyl radicals iron (III) ions. For first time, tablets Cu-TiO2 ZT deposited PMMA...
β-blockers are known to have negative effects on fish and other aquatic animal species, so their removal is key for preserving ecosystems. To reduce the risks related β-blockers, it necessary assess develop more effective treatments such as advanced oxidation processes. Improving sewage a critical approach reducing in environments. In this work, first time, direct indirect photolysis of nadolol (NAD) was investigated under different light sources (simulated solar (SS), UV-LED, UV radiations)...
The inadequate existence of practical techniques for water purification poses a prominent and widespread global environmental challenge. This study aims to clarify the efficacy xanthan application in photocatalytic removal nadolol, pindolol, cefoperazone from reservoirs. Under influence simulated solar light source, exhibited significant degradation rates pindolol (77%) (91%). In contrast, nadolol's efficiency was notably lower (10%). These findings suggest that molecular structure can...
This study investigates the characterization and performance of self-cleaning TiO2 surfaces synthesized through a one-step preparation process, followed by enhancement via plasma treatment. The process involved coating aluminum foil with an acrylic paint mixture containing nanoparticles different mass compositions subsequent treatment using continuous arc. Scanning electron microscopy revealed morphology treated surfaces, showing increase in surface area plasma-treated materials....
Raising awareness of the importance protecting environment generates ever-increasing efforts chemists and material scientists who seek new chemical compounds, production methods, types surfaces materials with self-cleaning abilities. Taking into consideration data on increasing pollutant levels in environment, that degrade pollutants could be an acceptable, sustainable solution to improve materials, especially when functionalizing large characteristic building materials. The development...
This research observed the interaction between carbon nanotubes (CTs) and ephedrine (EH) molecules through a comprehensive utilization of density functional theory (DFT) tight-binding (DFTB) calculations applied to both periodic isolated structures. EH, as prevalent pharmaceutical pollutant, interacts with CTs prominent organic nanostructures, prompting meticulous examination CTs’ potential EH adsorbents. Multiple models were systematically scrutinized elucidate their in detail. Given...
Our study provides valuable insights into the photoinduced degradation of nadolol in Danube River through catalytic oxidation with radicals. The presence H2O2 under UV and UV-LED irradiation significantly enhanced efficiency. water matrix complexity had a significant impact on process Nitrate, chloride, sulfate ions exhibited an inhibitory effect by quenching •OH Additional analyses, including catalase activity, lipid peroxidation, computational analysis, revealed proposed intermediates. Six...
Cefoperazone is a widely utilized antibiotic from the cephalosporins group to treat bacterial infections. Nevertheless, due its extensive use as β-lactam antibiotic, it has been found accumulate in aquatic environments, leading notable adverse effects on flora and fauna. Consequently, there arises necessity for removal environment. The aim of this work was investigate efficiency photocatalytic degradation cefoperazone by ZnO H2O2 using different types radiation (simulated solar (SS), UV-LED,...
