The elimination of Sulfaclozine in the three systems: UV/TiO ₂ , UV/K ₂ S ₂ O ₈ , and UV/TiO ₂ /K ₂ S ₂ O ₈ . Sulfaclozine is weakly adsorbed on the surface of TiO ₂ at pH 7 (< 5%) but efficiently eliminated with the following three systems: UV/TiO ₂ , UV/K ₂ S ₂ O ₈ , and UV/TiO ₂ /K ₂ S ₂ O ₈ in ultra pure water. Moreover, 12 of Sulfaclozine by-products are identified and reaction pathways show that, in addition of ^• OH and SO ₄ ^•− radicals, the conduction-band electrons are responsible for the formation of some main by-products either directly or by the formation of superoxide radicals.

Sulfaclozine (60 mg/kg; intravenous injection or oral administration; male broiler chickens) can be used primarily for the treatment of parasitic and microbial infections of the digestive tract rather than for the treatment of systemic infections.
