Solar and UV Photolysis of Ampicillin Antibiotic Solution
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
The ampicillin shows broad spectrum antibacterial activity mostly against Gram positive bacterial group but it also shows such activities against some Gram negative bacterial group. The solution of concentration ranging from 50-500 ppm of the ampicillin was exposed to the sun light and UV radiation. The duration of the exposure, for the degradation by UV radiation, was 1 to 10 hrs. The UV rays (15W and 30W) lamps were used for the study. The degradation was measured by the zone of inhibition. The maximum degradation was recorded after 5 hrs. of duration by the exposure of UV 30W. The maximum degradation of the solar degradation was after 72 hrs. of the direct sun light exposure. The UV and the solar degradation proved to be the significant mode to control the environmental pollution caused by ampicillin residues.
