Degradation of cephalexin toxicity in non-clinical environment using zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized in Momordica charantia extract; Numerical prediction models and deep learn... by Adel Ali Al-Gheethi, Adel Ali Al-Gheethi, Rubashini A.P. Alagamalai, Rubashini A.P. Alagamalai, Efaq Ali Noman, Efaq Ali Noman, Radin Mohamed, Radin Maya Saphira, Ravi Naidu, Ravi Naidu

“…The ANN results indicated that 88.87% of CFX was degraded using 50 mg/L of MCZnO NP, 40 mg/L of CFX, at pH 9, and after 180 min. Simulation analysis revealed that MCZnO NPs were efficient in degrading CFX concentrations (up to 60 mg/L) with 100% removed depending on pH and time. …”
