Intensification of Photo-Assisted Advanced Oxidation Processes for Water Treatment: A Critical Review

In recent decades, ultraviolet-assisted advanced oxidation processes (UV-AOPs) have been successfully applied to remove a wide range of contaminants from polluted water. Despite this, their extended use on an industrial scale is still far being reality, largely limited by the operational costs that these entail. years, many researchers working increase UV-AOP efficiency and reduce capital operating costs. This work aims review different strategies devoted intensification UV-AOPs. Firstly, optimization parameters, such as catalyst loading, pH, temperature, or oxidant concentration, has reviewed strategy augment photocatalytic reagent consumption and/or treatment time. The also discusses development materials intensify UV-AOPs process, finally, combination integration for pollutants examined.
