Resumen
Reliable data of antibiotic use and environmental discharge as veterinary
medicine are essential to help countries raise awareness of the appropriate
use, control, and correct water release. The first approach is to change the
regulatory framework based on consuming information, use policy, and discharge
laws. The important research contribution is a novel water treatment
process to treat, remove, and reduce antibiotic concentration in discharged
water, mainly those used in the animal protein industry. The low particle biochar
added during the titanium isopropoxide hydrolysis reduces the titanium
dioxide (TiO2) agglomerates and promotes the adsorption surface
process. Such improved catalyst material enhances the solar decomposition
efficiency to 93% from original oxytetracycline with better correspondence
with the Elovich kinetics, intraparticle diffusion, R-P isotherm, and Langmuir-
Hinshelwood model.
