Abstract

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) is active for sulfamethazine (SMT) degradation under simulated sunlight irradiation, with 70% SMT conversion within 90 min and a half-life of SMT 14 times shorter than that in the absence of catalyst, and can be recycled for at least five times with no loss of activity, making it a potential material in practice for SMT removal.
