Study on the effect and mechanism of Fenton-like reaction based on UV/H2O2 to degrade sulfamethoxazole in water

Key Points

• Sulfamethoxazole degradation is significantly improved with optimized Fenton-like reaction conditions.
• The study reports over 90% reduction in sulfamethoxazole concentration after 60 minutes of treatment.
• Observational analysis using Fenton-like reaction with UV and hydrogen peroxide demonstrates an efficient oxidative process.
• Findings highlight the potential of advanced oxidation processes for effective pharmaceutical wastewater treatment.
