Hybrid advanced oxidation process for rapid ciprofloxacin removal: coupling hydrodynamic cavitation with UV/H2O2 by Zhenxing Wang, Sivakumar Manickam, Wenlong Wang, Lin Fu, Haiyan Bie, Benlong Wang, Xun Sun

“…The results demonstrated that the integrated system achieved a synergistic index as high as 8.174 under suboptimal conditions, and completely degraded CIP within 70 min under optimal operational parameters. This performance can be attributed to the synergistic cavitation effects comprising mechanical disruption of molecular bonds, pyrolytic decomposition, and radical oxidation through •OH/•H generation via water dissociation, along with enhanced mass transfer induced by HC-generated turbulence, and the accelerated decomposition of H2O2 into additional •OH radicals facilitated by the combined UV and HC effects. …”
