TiO2-based materials for the degradation of anti-tuberculosis drugs and dyes: challenges and future perspectives
摘要
This paper explores the utilization of TiO2-based materials in the degradation of anti-tuberculosis drugs and synthetic dyes, addressing the associated environmental challenges and outlining future research directions. The presence of anti-tuberculosis drugs in water systems poses significant ecological and public health risks, while synthetic dyes from industrial sources contribute to water pollution and health hazards. TiO2 photocatalysis offers a promising solution for the efficient degradation of these contaminants, leveraging its unique properties to generate reactive species that degrade pollutants under light exposure. Recent studies demonstrate the efficacy of TiO2-based materials in degrading anti-tuberculosis drugs and synthetic dyes, highlighting various approaches such as nanocomposites, doped thin films, and functionalized nanotubes. Despite the progress, challenges remain in enhancing photocatalytic efficiency, catalyst stability, and reactor design. Future research directions include the development of advanced photocatalytic materials, optimization of reaction conditions, and integration with complementary technologies for more efficient water treatment. TiO2-based materials hold significant promise in mitigating the environmental impact of anti-tuberculosis drugs and dyes, offering sustainable solutions for water decontamination and public health protection.
