Professor Jang Min’s research team (Jang
Seok-bum, Yoon So-yeon, Hwang Geon-deok, Dr. Jong Cho-eun, Professor Choi
Eun-ha, and Professor Jang Min) from Kwangwoon University's Department of
Environmental Engineering have developed a award-winning floatable photocatalyst
(P-ZsZc) for the treatment of submerged residual antibiotic sulfamethoxazole
(SMX). They have also elucidated the photocatalytic mechanism for the treatment
of SMX as a submerged residual antibiotic.
This
research was supported by the Korea Research Foundation and the Ministry of
Education and was conducted as part of the Basic Science Research Support
Program (Grant No. 2021R1A6A1A03038785 and 2023R1A2C1003464). The findings were
published in the Chemical Engineering Journal (IF: 16.74, JCR rank: 2.8%) on
July 1, 2023, under the title "Enhanced in-situ oxygen evolution and
hydrogen peroxide production by a floatable ZnO-incorporated polyurethane
photocatalyst for sulfamethoxazole degradation.
