Original Abstract

Photocatalytic degradation of five beta-blockers (acebutolol, atenolol, metoprolol, nadolol and propranolol) was investigated in aqueous media using immobilized TiO2 as a photocatalyst. The analyzed parameters were pharmaceutical removal and non purgeable organic carbon. Two different types of photocatalyst incorporated in sol–gel matrix were compared. Besides, optimal photocatalyst concentration and light intensity were determined. A longer illumination time was needed for complete removal of beta-blockers in river water. Main intermediate compounds were identified by high performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS) technique.
