The photocatalytic oxidation of aqueous solution of amoxicillin was investigated and a reaction scheme is proposed for the formation of photoproduct which is in conformity with the composition and structure of the photoproduct established on the basis of analytical and spectral data. This study may help in removal of antibiotics by photocatalytic oxidation in pharmaceutical industry wastewater and also other types of wastewaters.
