Diclofenac (DCF) is a synthetic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and is widely used for the treatment of inflammatory and painful diseases of rheumatic and non-rheumatic origin. It is a chemical that is difficult to biodegrade and difficult to completely remove by a conventional wastewater treatment plant. A large amount of DCF already in use in Europe (EU) has been detected in many cooperatives in EU countries. In recent years, higher-order oxidation processes have been applied to treat DCF by various processes including photocatalysis such as the TiO2/UV process. Heterocatalytic photocatalysts are increasingly widely applied with high decomposition efficiency as well as good photocatalytic activity, non-toxic, chemically inert and low cost.
