Abstract

Photocatalytic Processes are very important as they can treat emerging contaminants present in the environment. Due to their efficiency, the associated application of semiconductors can catalyze the occurrence of degradation of contaminants in complex structures. Medicines are considered emerging contaminants, and even in small quantities can pose serious risks to human health, animals, and the environment. The objective of this article was to develop a study to treat effluents of the drug oxytetracycline through heterogeneous photocatalysis, activated by titanium dioxide, assisted by natural UV, in oxygenated media (through improvement and aeration processes), considering fundamental environmental aspects of promoting the environment. The oxytetracycline effluent was characterized and quantified through observations Aon the UV Vis Pro 700 Instrument, where it was limited to the area of the oxytetracycline spectrum, the observations that quantify the degradation of the effluent were adjusted to = 370 of the absorbance spectrum, admitted as per. The photocatalytic reactor was filled with 1 liter of oxytetracycline effluent, equivalent to 20 mg/l, varying in tests with pH-5, pH-9, pH-7. Concluding that the heterogeneous photocatalysis process (TiO₂/UV-natural) in oxygenated aqueous media is very efficient in degrading oxytetracycline effluents, degrading 20 mg/l of oxytetracycline (100% of the effluent) in 1 hour of photocatalytic reaction. It proved to be an efficient method, presenting results that classify it as a very promising process for the degradation of this type of contaminant.
