Professor Yongxia Sun from Institute of Nuclear
Chemistry and Technology (INCT, Poland) visited C2TN under the Erasmus+ Programme
in October 2023 to work in Laboratory of Technological Assays in Clean Rooms.
During this visit, Professor Yongxia could study the degradation of diclofenac,
a popular non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) by electron-beam
radiation using different conditions. The study also included the
identification of the microbial isolates that have grown on the treated
diclofenac solutions. The preliminary findings supported the use of
electron-beam to treat municipal wastewaters for the degradation of
recalcitrant pharmaceutical products, besides highlighting the potentiality of
biodegradation of treated wastewater.
