Abstract
Nowadays, we can see that in river water, traces of antibiotics can be found, which is an emerging problem. Also, pharmaceutical companies' wastewater contains antibiotic traces present in it in a significant amount which makes it an excellent experimental domain to work upon. Which is very harmful if taken by humans without its treatment, so to treat it as early as possible is very necessary, else the bacteria emerging in that water will be converted to superbugs and then curing the disease from that bacteria will be exceedingly difficult as they have resistive power to that antibiotic. For that, we have prepared a tri-doped photocatalyst by doping boron cerium and silver in a titanium dioxide structure. It can work under sunlight light because the presence of silver in this boron amount is increased so that it can satisfactorily degrade antibiotics. Cerium is for water disinfection in the further catalyst. Its amount was also increased. Then the characterization analysis was performed with the help of DLS analysis with the help of a nanoparticle size analyzer, and we got particle size in the range of 115 to 600 nanometer XRD analysis. We got a band gap Of 2.3 to 2.4 electron Volt.BET surface area analysis showed us a surface area of about 25 m2/g.So instead of the UVA lights now, it was performed under the sunlight and the degradation percent was increased significantly to approx 70 percent.
