A “classic” material for capture and detoxification of emergent contaminants for water purification: The case of tetracycline

Emerging pollutants are well-known chemicals without regulatory status that produce a significant environmental impact reaching aquatic and land ecosystems with a negative effect in the provision of ecosystem services. The aim of this work is the removal of tetracycline, through adsorption processes, from water by using alginate/chitosan microbeads enriched with TiO2. Through the photodegradation of the tetracycline, the recycle of the adsorbent...
