Oxidative Degradation of Pharmaceuticals: The Role of Tetrapyrrole-Based Catalysts
Nowadays, society’s widespread consumption of pharmaceutical drugs and the consequent accumulation of such compounds or their metabolites in effluents requires the development of efficient strategies and systems that lead to their effective degradation. This can be done through oxidative processes,...
