TiO< sub> 2</sub>-modified zeolites for fluoroquinolones removal from wastewaters and reuse after solar light regeneration

Abstract

Abstract Adsorption and photocatalytic removal from water of marbofloxacin (MAR) and enrofloxacin (ENR), two fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotics widely present in surface waters, were investigated on zeolite Y derivatized with three different TiO 2 catalysts (P25 Degussa and TiO 2 obtained by optimization of a sol\u2013gel method). The prepared materials were characterized by X-rays powder diffraction (XRPD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), BET analysis and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). TiO 2-derivatization improved .
