%X Oxytetracycline (OTC), a widely used of veterinary antibiotic, was degraded inside a UV/H2O2 system. Kinetic study was conducted at 30oC of temperature and pH 6.37, as suggested by the previous optimization experiment. About 250, 375 and 500 ppm initial OTC concentration were used for the kinetic studies, at H2O2 concentration of 0.116 M. The experimental data were plotted against the pseudo zero-th, first and second order of kinetic. Based on regression coefficient value, the data was well fitted with the pseudo first order of kinetic. The calculated value of kobs was 0.181 min-1. © 2014 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
