Cover Story: Over 70,000 deaths occur worldwide each year due to infections with antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. Consequently, it is necessary to enhance the efficiency of quaternary wastewater treatment processes. Persulfate-assisted heterogeneous photocatalysis is a promising method for degrading organic pollutants, but it still requires further investigation. Here, we combined TiO2 and ZnO photocatalysts with peroxydisulfate (PDS) ions to enhance the photocatalytic activity and study the degradation of trimethoprim, a widely used antibiotic. In the case of ZnO, the positive effect of PDS successfully overcompensates for the unfavorable matrix effects due to highly efficient SO4•− generation. However, the interaction of organic and inorganic components with the surface of the photocatalyst and their competition for photogenerated charges must be considered. View this paper
