TiO2 photocatalytic degradation of caffeine and ecotoxicological assessment of oxidation by-products
Advanced Oxidation Processes
The photocatalytic degradation of caffeine has been investigated in aqueous suspensions of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) by monitoring process efficiency at varying TiO 2 (25 - 175 mg l -1 ) and initial drug concentrations (0.5 - 9.5 mg l -1 ). The use of the response surface methodology (RSM) allowed...
