Effective visible light driven photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline and ciprofloxacin with enhanced heteroaromatic structures and bioaccumulation studies

Key Points

• Photocatalytic degradation efficiently reduces tetracycline and ciprofloxacin levels in the environment.
• The study demonstrates significant reductions, with tetracycline degradation observed at around 90% under visible light.
• Experiments used heteroaromatic structures as catalysts to enhance degradation efficiency and reduce toxicity.
• Findings suggest a promising method for treating pharmaceutical contaminants, highlighting the need for environmental solutions.
