Residues of unused antibiotics Sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) and Tetracycline (TC) in wastewater can be treated by photocatalytic degradation. In this approach, a magnetic photocatalyst known as aluminum ferrite (AlFeO3) is employed to assess the degradation SMZ TC under visible light conditions. The structural functional properties co-precipitated AlFeO3 with four different surfactants are examined. little-known relevance surfactant usage synthesis its characteristics for explored. findings indicate that catalyst completely (100%) degrade SMZ, 60 mins study proposes distinct pathway. Despite large size low surface area, performed well due potential catalyst. Further, property facilitates recovery reuse post-degradation. As result, Aluminium emerges promising candidate sunlight-driven removal targeted pollutants treatment.
