Investigating the degradation kinetics of sulfamethazine for antibiotic wastewater treatment processes

Antibiotics are consumed in healthcare or agriculture in large quantities. As a result, used and unused antibiotics eventually end up in our sewage system. The presence of antibiotics in our sewage system can be detrimental to the human body and the environment when the water returns to water bodies...
