Investigation of novel material for effective photodegradation of bezafibrate in aqueous samples
2014
Regulska, Elżbieta | Karpińska, Joanna
A novel composite with an enhanced photocatalytic activity was prepared and applied to study the removal of bezafibrate (BZF), a hypolypemic pharmaceutical, from an aqueous environment. For the enhancement of titanium dioxide photoactivity a fullerene derivative, 2-(ferrocenyl) fulleropyrrolidine (FcC₆₀), was synthesized and applied. Obtained composite was found to show a higher catalytic activity than pristine TiO₂. Therefore, high hopes are set in composites that are based on carbonaceous nanomaterials and TiO₂as a new efficient photocatalysts.
