Treatment of Pharmaceutical Contaminated Water using KBi۶O۹Br-Bi۲O۳ Nanophotocatalyst: Experimental Study and Modeling by ANN Method

In this study, a novel KBi۶O۹Br-Bi۲O۳ nanophotocatalyst was synthesized by microwave-combustion method to degrade different concentrations of the pharmaceutical pollutant Tetracycline under simulated solar light for ۱۸۰min. Characterization of the photocatalyst was carried out by the XRD technique, confirming the formation of the desired phases, and the artificial neural networks (ANN) method was used to modeling the photodegradation process.
