Özet
Cefazolin is a semi-synthetic antibiotic found in aqueous environments as a pollutant due to its widespread use. The photocatalytic degradation of cefazolin was investigated in aqueous N-doped and undoped-TiO2 suspensions under both UV and sunlight irradiation. N-doped TiO2 photocatalysts with different nitrogen contents were prepared by an incipient wet impregnation method. Characterization of the N-doped samples was performed by SEM–EDX, XRD, UV-DRS, XPS, Raman spectroscopy and surface area (BET) measurements. Degradation of cefazolin was achieved with the use of UV/TiO2. 53% degradation was obtained in 60min. A higher photocatalytic activity for the degradation of cefazolin was obtained for the N-doped TiO2 compared to Degussa P25. 76% of cefazolin was degraded in 50min. The N-doped TiO2 also exhibited substantial photocatalytic activity under direct sunlight irradiation, with 80 …
