This work was focused on the study of photoinduced processes of quinolone carboxylates in the presence of titanium dioxide in an alkaline media. UVA irradiation without/with titanium dioxide caused the decomposition of molecules, with higher efficiency of degradation in the presence of titanium dioxide. EPR spin trapping experiments proved that investigated quinolone carboxylates behave as the efficient scavengers of hydroxyl radicals produced upon irradiation of aerated alkaline titanium dioxide systems.
