Sažetak
The group of new pollutants, so called emerging pollutants, includes diverse groups of pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical active substances used in human and veterinary medicine (such as painkillers, antibiotics, hormones, anti-inflammatory drugs, lipid regulators, beta bolckers, anti-cancer drugs) and personal care products. Continuous release of pharmaceuticals to the environment as complex mixtures can result in higher concentrations, long-term and negative effects on aquatic and terrestrial organisms. For these reasons biological, physical and chemical methods have been developed for removal of pharmaceuticals from aqueous solution. Doxazosin, a selective alpha blocker, is widely used in medical therapy as an effective antihypertensive agent. It is very frequently prescribed drug and for this reason, environmental and ecotoxicological research is of great importance in terms of exposure and risk for both aquatic species and humans. In this study we focused on photolytic and TiO2 photocatalytic degradation processes of doxazosin under different simulated conditions, with the emphasis on identification of degradation products. TiO2 photocatalytic and photolytic (without TiO2) experiments were performed in photoreactor equipped with polychromatic low-pressure mercury lamps (1.6 mW/cm2 of UVA (300 - 400 nm)) as well as with UVC gemicidal lamps (254 nm). In the case of photolytic experiments, doxazosin aqueous solution was irradiated for 120 min in the presence and absense of oxygen, while photocatalytic degradation of doxazosin aqueous solution have been carried out under constant oxygen flow. Selected samples have been further concentrated for LC-MS/MS analysis, which proved the formation of several degradation products, depending on reaction conditions (presence, absence of oxygen, photocatalysis). The detailed degradation pathway has been proposed and will be presented.
