Abstract
ⶠpH plays a significant role in both photolysis and heterogeneous photocatalysis of the emerging contaminants ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin in water. ⶠThe third generation fluoroquinolone moxifloxacin is more susceptible to photocatalytic degradation than the second generation fluoroquinolone ciprofloxacin. ⶠFirst-order degradation rate constants and partition ratios of the different fluoroquinolone species reveal that the photocatalytic degradation rate is strongly determined by the pH dependent adsorption on the TiO2 catalyst surface.
