The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug sodium diclofenac (DC) is an emerging water pollutant which resists conventional wastewater treatments. Here the sonophotocatalytic degradation of DC was carried out using micrometric TiO2 (both pristine and Ag-decorated), UV-A irradiation and 20 kHz pulsed ul...
