The study presents a breakthrough of a balanced charge separation for heterojunction CuWO4-TiO2 cocatalyst to efficiently enhance visible light photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP). A solvothermal-synthesized nanopyramid-like CuWO4 semiconductor was assembled before sol–gel treatment with TiO2 precursors to generate CuWO4-TiO2 nanocomp...

... B shows a probable degradation process proceeding in the order: of defluorination, then piperazine ring cleavage before decarboxylation. This is consistent with a previous study's argument that pathway B is probable at high pH ( Vasconcelos et al. 2009 Comparative studies Table 1 provides compares synthesized CuWO 4 -TiO 2 (5CWT) to other TiO 2 -based nanocomposites applied for photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin. The 5CWT displayed a superior performance for the photocatalytic degradation of CIP using an almost equivalent dosage to the reported composites. ...
