For her MS thesis, Senjuti investigated the degradation kinetics of LEV by colloidal MnO2 catalyzed by micellar solutions of different surfactants. Colloidal MnO2 was prepared by the reduction of KMnO4 by Na2S2O3. Kinetics of the reaction between colloidal MnO2 and levofloxacin was investigated spectrophotometrically at 400 nm where only colloidal MnO2 absorbs light, and a comparison of reaction rate in various surfactant media was made.
