Key Points

The aim is to investigate the degradation of diclofenac in water using photocatalysis and radiocatalysis.
Conducted experiments in aqueous media
Applied photocatalytic and radiocatalytic techniques
Monitored degradation rates under controlled conditions
Diclofenac concentration decreased significantly with both methods
Photocatalysis showed a higher degradation rate compared to radiocatalysis
Degradation products were characterized, indicating transformation pathways

Implication

Research demonstrates degradation of diclofenac in aqueous media, indicating possible environmental solutions.

Abstract

Diclofenac (DCF) is a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and has been detected in aquatic environments, posing ecological risks. In this study, DCF degradation in aqueous media via photocatalysis and...
