Nano-sized iron oxides supported on polyester textile to remove fluoroquinolones in hospital wastewater

Sami Rtimi

In this study, we examined the removal kinetics of two fluoroquinolones (FQs), flumequine (FLU) and ciprofloxacin (CIP), in synthetic wastewater (SWW) and real hospital wastewater (RHW) using FeOx thin films, peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and visible light. Nano ...
