Abstract

Current health situations have instigated increased frequency of taking antibiotics for cure of infections but this amplified use is posing threats to environment. This research is focused to remove Tetracycline (TC), an antibiotic from water, using an advanced nanohybrid that compact the properties of adsorbent and photocatalyst. Compared to conventional methods for remediation of TC, large surface area (452 m²g⁻¹) adsorbent photocatalyst hybrid (APH) g-C₃N₄/α-MoO₃/ZIF-67 (CMZ) have found much effective as 97% degradation of TC is observed in 110 min with 0.1 g of APH. Increasing g-C₃N₄ in the hybrids has improved percent degradation of TC molecules. CMZ-3 is found as a potential candidate for water treatment.
