Enhanced photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline and real pharmaceutical wastewater using MWCNT/TiO2 nano-composite
Abstract
Photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline using MWCNT/TiO2nanocomposite was investigated under UVC irradiation. The effective operational parameters included pH, irradiation time, photocatalyst dosage, weight ratio of MWCNT to TiO2 and tetracycline concentration and were studied consecutively. Complete removal of tetracycline concentrations of up to 10 mg/L was obtained at MWCNT to TiO2 ratio of 1.5 (w/w%), pH 5, photocatalyst dosage of 0.2 g/L. Pseudo-first order kinetic model was best fitted with the experimental results (R2: 0.91-0.98 for different tetracycline concentrations). Based on TOC analysis, mineralization was 37% in the same reaction conditions for initial tetracycline concentration of 10 mg/L and reached to 83% after 300 min. In the case of real pharmaceutical wastewater, the COD concentration of 2267 mg/L decreased to 342 mg/L after 240 min in the same operational conditions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
