@DavidDanaci Therefore, we can presume that, at higher temperatures, lower doses of PMS could be applied to achieve 100% degradation efficiency! But further tests would have to be carried out to prove that, right?

I bet you know someone who takes losartan anti-hypertensive on a daily basis. But, did you know that it is a emerging contaminant in water?

We have explored #adsorption and #oxidation of losartan using a carbon-based material.
Check it out and let's debate!

@DavidDanaci Hi, David! Thanks for the question! Effects of reaction temperature on losartan degradation were not examined. But, based on previous studies on Co@N,S-PC+PMS system, we would expect higher temperatures to favor the process. (DOI: https://t.co/PQl21meUh3)

@andradervanessa Thank you, Vanessa!

@daaliaa22 Sure! And the list of emerging contaminants is still growing. Advanced water and wastewater treatment technologies, like adsorption and AOPs, are urged!
