Abstract(s)

The propagation of microcontaminants – such as the antimicrobial agent sulfamethoxazole (SMX) – in urban water cycles has been receiving a great deal of attention from the scientific community, mainly due to major public health concerns about the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria and/or resistance genes. Catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) using novel hybrid materials was tested in the degradation of SMX model solutions (500 μg L-1).
