Abstract
The presence of amoxicillin, a widely used antibiotic, has been documented in Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) effluents. As for other pharmaceuticals, ozonation is proposed as a process for its abatement from these effluents. The results of ozonation experiments on amoxicillin-containing aqueous solutions indicate that ozone attack is mainly directed towards the phenolic ring of the studied molecule leading to the formation of hydroxyderivative intermediates. No direct evidences of attack on sulfur atom with sulfoxide formation are found. A kinetic investigation is carried out allowing the assessment of the kinetics of direct ozone attack and that of OH radicals to amoxicillin.Entities:
