In: IWA LEADING EDGE CONFERENCE ON WATER AND WASTEWATER TECHNOLOGIES, 13th, June 13-16, 2016, Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. <b>Resumo expandido...</b> Disponível em: http://repositorio.ipen.br/handle/123456789/27679.http://repositorio.ipen.br/handle/123456789/27679The developed of water treatment process to adsorb and decompose the pharmaceutical antibiotic amoxicillin and cephalexin using iron oxide –hematite, quitosan and UV radiation. The equilibrium time te= 180 min and the removal percentage for amoxicillin was 90% similar with those found in literature. In same experimental parameters the Cephalexin removal percentage was 25% some parameter have been alter to promote the photodecomposition such antibiotic mixture. The results confirm an indicate the possible use of UV photodecomposition reaction as a promising water treatment to treat, adsorb and decompose antibiotic residues in the environment.openAccessResumo de eventos científicoshttps://orcid.org/0000-0002-7737-3732https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2604-1225
