Resumen
The developed of water treatment process to adsorb and decompose the pharmaceutical antibiotic
amoxicillin and cephalexin using iron oxide ???hematite, quitosan and UV radiation. The equilibrium time te= 180
min and the removal percentage for amoxicillin was 90% similar with those found in literature. In same
experimental parameters the Cephalexin removal percentage was 25% some parameter have been alter to
promote the photodecomposition such antibiotic mixture. The results confirm an indicate the possible use of UV
photodecomposition reaction as a promising water treatment to treat, adsorb and decompose antibiotic residues
in the environment.
