Abstract (EN): The propagation of microcontaminants ¿ such as the antimicrobial agent sulfamethoxazole (SMX) ¿ in urban water cycles has been receiving a great deal of attention from the scientific community, mainly due to major public health concerns about the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria and/or resistance genes. Catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) using novel hybrid materials was tested in the degradation of SMX model solutions (500 ¿g L-1).
