Abstract
pairs. Charge recombination produces many free electron-hole pairs, which aid photocatalyst reactions by producing superoxide and hydroxyl radicals via electron-hole pair generation. The possible mechanistic routes for TC were investigated in-depth, as pointed out by the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) investigation. Overall, this work shows that photocatalysis is a feasible sorbent approach for environmental antibiotic wastewater treatment.
