Photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline antibiotic and organic dyes using biogenic synthesized CuO/Fe < sub > 2 < /sub > O < sub > 3 < /sub > nanocomposite: pathways and mechanism insights
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2022 Dec 24. doi: 10.1007/s11356-022-24848-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTetracycline (TC) is a frequently administered antibiotic in many countries, due to its low price and excellent potency. However, certain antibiotics can be hazardous to living creatures due to their accumulation by complexation with metal ions which can contribute to teratogenicity and carcinogenicity. In this investigation, copper oxide-ferric oxide nanocomposite (CuO/Fe2O3 nanocomposite) was synthesized employing Psidium guajava (P. guajava) leaf extract as a reductant as well as a capping agent in an environment frie...
