Abstract
The experimental research into the aqueous photocatalytic oxidation of doxycycline, a tetracycline family antibiotic, was undertaken. The objective of the study was to ensure the feasibility of doxycycline photocatalytic degradation by UVA irradiated titania coatings on granulated media to be used in fluidised bed photocatalytic reactor and by slurries of P25, Evonik, as well as by visible light-sensitive sol-gel synthesized carbon-containing titania. The parameters influencing doxycycline oxidation, like catalyst concentration, initial doxycycline concentration and pH with P25 TiO2 were studied. The impact of calcination temperature on the catalytic properties of carboncontaining titania and catalytic activity of titania film on expanded clay as bed material towards doxycycline degradation were also studied. Based on the examination of doxycycline photocatalytic oxidation by-products, possible doxycycline degradation pathways were proposed.
