Abstract
Visible-light photocatalysis has been reported to be one of the most effective means of wastewater treatment with high removal efficiency, process simplicity, and environmental friendliness. Photocatalytic degradation of Amoxicillin (AMX) was achieved successfully with GO/TiO2 nanocomposites prepared via the hydrothermal process. The prepared nanocomposites were characterized by TEM, XRD, FE-SEM, EDS, and FTIR analysis. Three modeling approaches - adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), artificial neural network (ANN), and response surface methodology (RSM) - were employed to understand the relationships between input variables and photocatalytic degradation performance. R² values of 0.9876, 0.9159, and 0.7616 were obtained for RSM, ANN, and ANFIS, respectively, which indicates that the predictive capability of RSM and ANN models was better than ANFIS. The maximum degradation of amoxicillin of 91.01 % was realized within 105 min at 0.588 mg/mL GO/TiO2 dosage, initial 36 mg/L AMX concentration, and pH 5.
