    Photocatalytic degradation of trimethoprim on doped Ti-pillared montmorillonite
    (Elsevier, 2019) González, Beatriz; Trujillano, Raquel; Vicente, Miguel Ángel; Rives, Vicente; Korili, Sophia A.; Gil Bravo, Antonio; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2
    Montmorillonite pillared with titanium and doped with Cr3+ or Fe3+ has been tested for the photo-degradation of the antibiotic trimethoprim (trimethoxybenzyl-2,4-pyrimidinediamine) under different conditions, namely, in the dark or in UV light, with or without catalyst, finding excellent catalytic performance under photocatalytic conditions. The degradation by-products were preliminary analysed by mass spectrometry. The results suggested that the molecule broke in two halves, corresponding to its two existing rings. The process continued with the breakage of new fragments from the trimethoxybenzene half, these fragments later reacted with the methoxy groups in this part of the molecule, giving species with m/z values higher than that for the starting molecule, and with the breakage of new fragments.

    Preparation of Ca2Al1–mFem(OH)6Cl 2H2O-doped hydrocalumites and application of their derived mixed oxides in the photodegradation of ibuprofen
    (MDPI, 2022) Jiménez, Alejandro; Valverde, Marta; Misol, Alexander; Trujillano, Raquel; Gil Bravo, Antonio; Vicente, Miguel Ángel; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2
    Aluminum from saline slags generated during the recycling of this metal, extracted under reflux conditions with aqueous NaOH, was used in the synthesis of hydrocalumite-type solids with the formula Ca2Al1–mFem(OH)6Cl 2H2O. The characterization of the obtained solids was carried out by powder X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis, element chemical analysis, N2 adsorption-desorption at -196ºC and electron microscopy. The results showed the formation of Layered Double Hydroxide-type compounds whose characteristics varied as the amount of incorporated Fe3+ increased. These solids were calcined at 400ºC and evaluated for the catalytic photodegradation of ibuprofen, showing promising results in the elimination of this drug by advanced oxidation processes. The CaAl photocatalyst (without Fe) showed the best performance under UV light for the photodegradation of ibuprofen.
