Experimental study demonstrates degradation of sulfamethoxazole in water using ultraviolet radiation and hydrogen peroxide, indicating potential strategies for wastewater remediation.
Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is a sulfonamide broad-spectrum antibiotic drug which is frequently detected in the aquatic environment. SMX is introduced into the environment mostly via municipal wastewater effluents as conventional treatment processes do not result in complete removal. As such, there is a need to investigate new treatment methods to improve the removal of SMX. The aim of this study was to investigate SMX degradation at pH 4.8 using UV- radiation and UV- radiation combined with H
