Treatment of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in terms of total organic carbon (TOC) by combined adsorption and catalytic ozonation by commercial activated carbon (PAC) and Fe2O3/CeO2 loaded activated carbon (MOPAC) has been investigated. Adsorbent dosage of 2g/L, initial pH ~ 6.5 and contact time = 50 min we...
