Antibiotic residues have become serious health concerns due to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The treatment antibiotic pollutants in wastewater is necessary for reducing issue resistance. In this work, metal oxide photocatalyst titanium dioxide (TiO2) was evaluated removal tetracycline (TC-A) and deactivation E. coli bacteria (E-B) from wastewater. Based on oxidation process, TiO2 can successfully degrade TC-A with an efficiency up 96.4%. It also employed coli, completely inactivating within 30 min. Moreover, after five cycles reuse, demonstrated high efficiencies over 80% 95% E-B, respectively. Finally, proposed mechanism using presented. This work provides a simple method removing deactivating

This study presents effective methods for utilizing the TiO2 photocatalyst in environmental remediation, with a particular focus on removal of carbofuran pesticide (CBFP) from wastewater. Silver (Ag) was selected as potential dopant to improve optical properties well electron-hole pair separation efficiency TiO2. Ag-doped (Ag-TiO2) effectively decomposed 92.8% CBFP under solar light, which significantly higher than that (21.3%). Ag-TiO2 also exhibited good reusability degradation, reduction less 3% after three cycles. In practical applications, successfully degraded 89.3% wastewater and 98.7% surface water. The findings this work bring an method removing pollutants using photocatalyst.
