چکیده
Penicillin is one of the emerging pollutants that has toxic effects on food chains and aquatic environments. It creates many problems for human health and other living organisms. Conventional wastewater treatment methods cannot remove penicillin; therefore, modern approaches are necessary to remove it from sewage. In this study, we examined the ability of TiO۲ photocatalysis in the degradation of penicillin in aqueous solutions. The effects of different factors such as adsorption, pH, catalyst dosage, the initial concentration of penicillin, and time were examined. The results showed that photolysis and adsorption had negligible effects on penicillin degradation. The maximum degradation (۹۴.۵%) was observed at an ambient pH of ۵, ۰.۱ g/l of TiO۲, and ۲۰ mg/l of penicillin for ۹۰ min. The photodegradation of penicillin followed a first-order kinetic reaction, and the rate constant (k) was ۰.۰۲۱۳ min-۱. A TOC analysis was conducted to determine the fate of the pollutant. The results showed that ۴۱% of the organic carbon was removed in ۱۲۰ min. Based on the results, TiO۲ photocatalysis is an economically feasible procedure with good efficiency in removing penicillin from the aquatic environment.کلیدواژه ها

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.
کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
