AB  - In present study, an efficient ternary Ag/TiO(2)/mesoporous g-C(3)N(4) 
      (M-g-C(3)N(4)) photocatalyst was successfully synthesized through depositing Ag 
      nanoparticles (NPs) on the surface of TiO(2)/M-g-C(3)N(4) heterojunction. 
      Ag/TiO(2)/M-g-C(3)N(4) nanocomposite displayed the highest degradation efficiency 
      for amoxicillin (AMX) compared to TiO(2)/M-g-C(3)N(4) heterojunction, 
      M-g-C(3)N(4), and bulk-g-C(3)N(4) (B-g-C(3)N(4)). The removal efficiency of AMX 
      in real situation, surface water (SW), hospital wastewater (HW), and waste water 
      treatment plant (WWTP) also were studied to illustrate the effectiveness of 
      Ag/TiO(2)/M-g-C(3)N(4) photocatalysts. The vulnerable atoms in AMX structure were 
      revealed through DFT calculation. Additionally, the dominating active groups 
      produced in time of the photocatalytic procedure were determined on account of 
      free radical trapping experiments and ESR spectra. The mechanism of 
      photocatalytic degradation was proposed and verified. The transfer of the 
      electrons and the inhibition of the recombination of photogenerated 
      electron-holes were enhanced effectively under the synergistic effect of the Ag 
      NPs and TiO(2). As a consequence, the catalytic activity of the composite was 
      improved under visible light.
