| Abstract | This study aimed to investigate the removal of amoxicillin (AMO) antibiotic and chemical oxygen demand (COD) by Fenton (Fe 2+ /H 2 O 2 ) and photocatalytic (UV-A/TiO 2 ) oxidation processes in aqueous solution. In experiments, pH, antibiotic, Fe 2+ , H 2 O 2 , TiO 2 concentrations and reaction time parameters were examined. In Fenton process, the removal efficiencies of initial AMO and COD concentrations were 83% and 66%, respectively. Fe 2+ /H 2 O 2 molar ratio was determined as 1/15. In Photocatalytic process, AMO and COD removal efficiencies were 62% and 52%, respectively. The results indicated that these two processes may enhance the rate of AMO removal in polluted water and could be used as a preliminary treatment, alternative to existing treatment systems. |
