Heterogeneous catalytic ozonation of ciprofloxacin in water with carbon nanotube supported manganese oxides as catalyst

► Ciprofloxacin in water was degraded by heterogeneous catalytic ozonation. ► MnOx were supported on MWCNTs to serve as catalyst for ozonation. ► MnOx/MWCNT exhibited highly catalytic activity on ozonation of ciprofloxacin in water. ► MnOx/MWCNT resulted in effective antibacterial activity inhibition on ciprofloxacin. ► MnOx/MWCNT promoted the generation of hydroxyl radicals.
