Photochemical Oxidation of Antibacterial Drugs in the Presence of Oxygen-Containing Additives
摘要
Abstract
The article considers photochemical oxidation of nitrofural and tetracycline in the presence of oxygen-containing additives (hydrogen peroxide, peroxydisulfuric acid, and potassium persulfate). It has been found that the addition of oxygen-containing additives significantly increases the efficiency and rate of destruction of active pharmaceuticals. The highest efficiency of destruction has been achieved with the use of hydrogen peroxide, but the high cost of the reagent makes peroxydisulfuric acid and potassium persulfate to be considered as potential alternatives.
