Synergistic elimination of antibiotic resistance genes and tetracycline antibiotics in wastewater via a Z-scheme Bi 2 WO 6 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction: degradation pathways and mechanism
Abstract
and DOC were significant positive correlations with ARGs. The migration pathway of photogenerated carriers on the surface of Z-scheme heterojunction and photocatalytic degradation mechanism for removing TCs and ARGs were also studied. Finally, degradation byproducts, process and pathways of TC were investigated. This study presents a novel strategy for efficiently removing TCs and ARGs, thereby mitigating the spread of them.
