Abstract
Diclofenac-contg. aq. soins, were subjected to photocatalytic decompn. by using UV lamps 15 or 150 W in the presence of TiO2 as an air-oxidn. catalyst. The effect of reactor vol., pH of the reaction medium and the presence of Inorg. micropollutants on the diclofenac degradn. was studied. The effectiveness of diclofenac oxidn. decreased with the increase In pH of aq. soins. The presence of NaCI, NaHCO3, and Na2SO4 resulted in a decrease in the decompn. effectiveness. Furthermore, the diclofenac oxidn. by-products were formed, which could have a negative Impact on living organisms.
