Cytostatic Drug 6-Mercaptopurine Degradation on Pilot Scale Reactors by Advanced Oxidation Processes: UV-C/H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and UV-C/TiO<sub>2</sub>/H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> Kinetics

6-Mercaptopurine (6-MP) is a commonly used cytostatic agent, which represents a particular hazard for the environment because of its low biodegradability. In order to degrade 6-MP, four processes were applied: Photolysis (UV-C), photocatalysis (UV-C/TiO<sub>2</sub>), and their combinatio...
