Due to the inability of conventional wastewater treatment procedures to remove organic pharmaceutical pollutants, active pharmaceutical components remain in wastewater and even reach tap water. In terms of pharmaceutical pollutants, the scientific community focuses on -blockers due
to their extensive (over)usage and moderately high solubility. In this study, the photocatalytic activity of V2O5 was investigated through the degradation of nadolol (NAD), pindolol (PIN), metoprolol (MET), and their mixture under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation in water. For the preparation of V2O5, facile ...

... in recent years [4]. Pindolol (PIN,
Figure 1) possesses lipophilic properties and at natural pH is almost completely insoluble in
water [5,6]. Nadolol (NAD, Figure 1) is another medicine from the B-blockers class, which
is highly soluble in water and hydrolytically stable, and thanks to that property ...
