Abstract

The use of antibiotics in therapeutic dosage and as feed additives are management strategies to ensure the high productivity of livestock. Veterinary Oxytetracycline (OTC) is an important antibiotic used with your insertion in environment. OTC is a persistent contaminant to conventional water treatments. The present study simulated a veterinary OTC solution used as a food additive in poultry. In actual use, these solutions are made available to animals for watering and are discarded after 24 hours. Thus, the present study aims to evaluate the capacity of OTC removal from veterinary formulation by the H2O2/UV system from tests with different pH values and H2O2 concentrations. A factorial design of the central composite rotational design (DCCR) was used and the main configurations were the operation time of 60 minutes, three UV-C lamps (254 nm) of 15 W each, initial concentration of OTC of 15 mg L-1 and the volume of deionized water of 250 mL (operating in batch mode). A maximum removal of 97% of oxytetracycline was obtained at pH 6,5 and concentration of 150 mg L-1 of H2O2, and a mathematical model with a capacity to explain 94,12% of the variability of the data at a significance level of 5%. It is concluded that the H2O2/UV system has real capacity for degradation of veterinary OTC solution.
