2. Diclofenac removal by simulated solar assisted photocatalysis using TiO2-based zeolite catalyst; mechanisms, pathways and environmental aspectsDionysios D. Dionysiou, Urška Lavrenčič Štangar, Sandra Babich, Hrvoje Kušić, Martina Biosic, Daria Juretic Perisic, Subhan Salaeh, Ana Lončarić Božić, 2016, original scientific article Abstract: The study explores the potential of immobilized TiO2-based zeolite composite photocatalyst (TiO2-FeZ)
made of commercial AEROXIDE TiO2 P25 and iron-exchanged zeolite of ZSM5 type (FeZ), for solar assisted
treatment of diclofenac (DCF), pharmaceutical included in the ‘‘watch list” during last prioritization in
water legislation by EU.
In this study the efficiency of applied photocatalytic treatment, solar/TiO2-FeZ/H2O2, of DCF water
solution was evaluated on basis of DCF removal and conversion kinetics, as well as the changes of
common parameters for assessing water quality. Hence, the changes in the removal and mineralization
of overall organic content, biodegradability, toxicity to Vibrio fischeri, dechlorination of DCF and
its formed by-products, were monitored during the treatment. The obtained data were correlated with
the evolution of DCF by-products, identified and monitored during the treatment by HPLC/MSMS
analysis. In order to estimate the influence of water matrix, all experiments were performed in the
presence of chloride or sulphate as counter ions. The obtained data revealed that degradation
mechanism of DCF by applied treatment process using immobilized TiO2-FeZ includes the adsorption
onto photocatalyst surface and consequent degradation. The contribution of homogeneous Fenton
reaction due to leached iron ions was found to be negligible. The adsorption and degradation pathway of DCF were influenced by the type of counter ions, which was reflected in the observed changes of
water quality parameters.

3. Comparative analysis of UV-C/H2O2 and UV-A/TiO2 processes for the degradation of diclofenac in waterUrška Lavrenčič Štangar, Hrvoje Kušić, Marin Kovacic, Daria Juretic Perisic, Vedrana Marin, Ana Lončarić Božić, 2016, original scientific article Abstract: The study investigates the treatment of diclofenac (DCF), a pharmaceutical
included in the first watch list of the European Water Framework Directive
as a new potential priority substance in water. Since the conventional wastewater
treatment technologies do not efficiently remove DCF, advanced treatment technologies
capable of its complete removal or destruction of its biological activity,
need to be evaluated and eventually employed. For that purpose, typical representatives
of photooxidative and photocatalytic advanced oxidation processes were
applied. The effectiveness of UV-C/H2O2 and UV-A/TiO2 were compared regarding
DCF conversion and mineralization kinetics, water quality parameters for
assessing biodegradability and toxicity. In spite of similar biodegradability profiles,
the obtained results indicate different DCF degradation pathways, which are
reflected in different profiles of toxicity towards Vibrio fischeri. The observed DCF
conversion and mineralization kinetics revealed the benefits of UV-C/H2O2 process.
However, lower toxicity favored the application of photocatalytic over photooxidative
treatment for DCF removal.
