Removal of sulfamethoxazole using catalytic ozonation: an optimization study

The catalytic ozonation of sulfamethoxazole was investigated in this study using response surface methodology. The effect of four parameters pH of solution, concentration of antibiotic, ozone concentration and circulation rates was investigated on removal of sulfamethoxazole and COD of solution. The...
