Due to the inability of conventional wastewater treatment procedures to remove organic pharmaceutical pollutants, active pharmaceutical components remain in wastewater and even reach tap water. In terms of pharmaceutical pollutants, the scientific community focuses on -blockers due
to their extensive (over)usage and moderately high solubility. In this study, the photocatalytic activity of V2O5 was investigated through the degradation of nadolol (NAD), pindolol (PIN), metoprolol (MET), and their mixture under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation in water. For the preparation of V2O5, facile ...
... ionization energy indicate that the PIN is the most reactive of all
three considered molecules in terms of removingy an electron from it.

of the separate solution of each B--blocker was a more efficient process. The reason may
be caused by the additive or synergistic effects of the structures of these three B-blockers

detector was set at wavelengths of maximum absorption of each B-blocker: 210 nm (for
NAD), 217 nm (for PIN), and 223 nm (for MET). To achieve better peak separation, gradient
elution was used (flow rate 0.7 mL min ...
