Hybrid advanced oxidation process for rapid ciprofloxacin removal: coupling hydrodynamic cavitation with UV/H₂O₂.

ABSTRACT: In this study, an innovative integration of hydrodynamic cavitation (HC), ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) was employed to effectively degrade ciprofloxacin (CIP), a representative antibiotic, in a 12-litre treatment system. The study systematically investigated the cavitation characteristics, synergistic interactions, and the influence of key operating parameters (inlet pressure, initial solution pH, H₂O₂ concentration, and initial CIP concentration) on the performance of the HC/UV/H₂O₂ system. Additionally, the potential degradation mechanism, practical applicability, and economic feasibility of the integrated process were thoroughly evaluated. The results demonstrated that the integrated system a
