Degradation of Antibiotics in Wastewater during Sonolysis, Ozonation, and Their Simultaneous Application: Operating Conditions Effects and Processes Evaluation

Table 3

DCF degradation rate constants (𝐾) in terms of TOC referred to sonolysis (20 kHz, 400 W/L, NTC), ozonation (31 g/h), and their combination (US + O₃) for an initial DCF concentration of 40 mg/L.

Treatment process	TOC
	𝐾 (mg/(L·min))	𝑅^2
US	0.169	0.984
O3	0.106	0.960
US + O3	0.211	0.907
