Abstract
Aluminum nanocrystals created by catalyst-driven colloidal synthesis support excellent plasmonic properties, due to their high level of elemental purity, monocrystallinity, and controlled size and shape. Reduction in the rate of nanocrystal growth enables the synthesis of highly anisotropic Al nanowires, nanobars, and singly twinned "nanomoustaches". Electron energy loss spectroscopy was used to study the plasmonic properties of these nanocrystals, spanning the broad energy range needed to map their plasmonic modes. The coupling between these nanocrystals and other plasmonic metal nanostructures, specifically Ag nanocubes and Au films of controlled nanoscale thickness, was investigated. Al nanocrystals show excellent long-term stability under atmospheric conditions, providing a practical alternative to coinage metal-based nanowires in assembled nanoscale devices.

Abstract
Water pollution caused by dyes has become a focal point of attention. Among them, the heterogeneous Fenton reaction has emerged as an effective solution to this problem. In this study, we designed a ferric alginate gel (PAGM) tri-modified with poly(vinyl alcohol), graphene oxide, and MoS2 as a heterogeneous Fenton catalyst for organic dye degradation. PAGM addresses the drawbacks of alginate gel, such as poor mechanical properties and gel chain dissolution, thereby significantly extending the catalyst's lifespan. The removal rate of rhodamine B by PAGM reached 95.5 % within 15 min, which was 5.9 times higher than that of unmodified ferric alginate gel. Furthermore, due to the π-π interactions, PAGM exhibits unique adsorption properties for pollutants containing benzene rings. Additionally, PAGM can be regenerated multiple times through a simple soaking procedure without any performance degradation. Finally, the reaction column constructed with PAGM maintained an 83.5 % removal rate even after 319 h of continuous wastewater treatment. This work introduces a novel concept for the study of alginate-based gel catalysts in heterogeneous Fenton reactions.

Abstract
RGO-CdTe composite was synthesized using a straightforward, easy-to-realize, one-pot solvothermal technique. The synthesized composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method (BET), Raman spectra, UV-Vis absorption, and photoluminescence measurement. The RGO-CdTe composite exhibited 83.6% photocatalytic degradation efficiency for the aqueous tetracycline (TC) antibiotic solution and the apparent quantum yield (AQY) for the same was as high as 22.29% which is 2.63 times higher than that of CdTe. The scavenger investigation demonstrated that although hole acts as the leading active species, despite that, superoxide and hydroxyl radicals have also played crucial roles. The initial pH-dependent photocatalytic performance was measured. The zeta potential of the composite at different pH values was evaluated to establish the photocatalytic performance of the RGO-CdTe towards TC degradation at different pH. The recycling experiment depicts that only a 10% degradation performance declines after 5 times recycle use of the RGO-CdTe photocatalyst. An efficient photocurrent generation in RGO-CdTe thin film device has also been observed. Our study establishes as-synthesized composite of RGO-CdTe as a highly potential, and stable photocatalyst for the degradation of antibiotics from the polluted aqueous environment with a very good photoinduced charge generation efficiency in its solid phase.

Abstract
Utilization of semiconductor photocatalyst materials to degrade pollutants for addressing environmental pollution problems has become a research focus in recent years. In this work, a 2D/2D S-scheme crystalline carbon nitride (CCN)/BiOIO3 (BOI) van der Waals heterojunction was successfully constructed for effectively enhancing the degradation efficiency of antibiotic contaminant. The as-synthesized optimal CCN/BOI-3 sample exhibited the highest efficiency of 80% for the photo-degradation of tetracycline (TC, 20 mg/L) after 120 min visible light irradiation, which was significantly higher than that of pure CCN and BOI. The significant improvement in photocatalytic performance is mainly attributed to two aspects: (i) the 2D/2D van der Waals heterojunction can accelerate interface carriers' separation and transfer and afford sufficient active sites; (ii) the S-scheme heterojunction elevated the redox capacity of CCN/BOI, thus providing a driving force for the degradation reaction. The degradation pathways of TC for the CCN/BOI composite were investigated in detail by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis. This work provides a design idea for the development of efficient photocatalysts based on the 2D/2D S-scheme van der Waals heterojunctions.

Abstract
Co3O4/Bi4O7/Bi2O3 (CBB) composites were prepared, in which Co3O4 was synthesized from Co-MOF as precursor. The peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activated by CBB catalyst under visible light was used to degrade tetracycline (TC). Owing to the synergistic effect of photocatalysis and PMS activation, 98.4% of TC was removed within 60 min. The optimal loading of Co3O4 was determined, and the influence of PMS dosage, initial pH, and disturbing anions on the degradation effect were investigated. The "CBB + Vis + PMS" system showed good reusability, and the degradation was only reduced by 1.7% after 5 cycles. This system also had a good degradation of other five pollutants. The quenching experiment showed that holes (h+), superoxide radicals (·O2-), and singlet oxygen (1O2) were the main active species. The degradation products of TC were determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the degradation pathway was proposed. Finally, a double Z-scheme degradation mechanism was proposed in the "CBB + Vis + PMS" system. The peroxymonosulfate activated by CBB under visible light to degrade organic pollutants has widespread application prospects in environmental remediation.

Abstract
The most important aspect of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is the harnessing of Fenton or Fenton-like chemistry for cancer therapy within the tumor microenvironment, which occurs because of the moderate acidity and overexpressed H2O2 in the tumor microenvironment. Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) produced within tumor cells via Fenton and Fenton-like reactions cause cancer cell death. Reactive oxygen species-mediated CDT demonstrates a desired anticancer impact without the need for external stimulation or the development of drug resistance. Cancer therapy based on CDT is known as a viable cancer therapy modality. This review discusses the most recent CDT advancements and provides some typical instances. As a result, potential methods for further improving CDT efficiency under the guidance of Fenton chemistry are offered.

Abstract
Here, a simple one-step calcination method uses glycolic acid (GA) and urea to synthesize C-O band structure modified carbon nitride with broad spectral response, which is used to construct a peroxymonosulfate/visible light (PMS/vis) system. The solid-state 13C NMR proved that C-O band structure was successfully introduced into the carbon nitride. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation show that the introduction of C-O band structure shortens the band gap of 0.05 g GA modified CN (0.05 GA-CN). Besides, Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) further illustrate that the 0.05 GA-CN has a higher charge density and promotes the degradation of pollutants. In PMS/vis system, 0.05 GA-CN can completely degrade bisphenol A (BPA) within 36 min. In addition, 0.05 GA-CN can also degrade bisphenol E (BPE) and bisphenol F (BPF). The cyclic voltammetry (CV) curve show that the introduction of C-O band structure enhances the activation ability of PMS. At the same time, 0.05 GA-CN/PMS has enhanced the activity of degrading BPA under blue light (450-462 nm), green light (510-520 nm) and red light (610-625 nm). This research provides a new method to synthesize carbon nitride with enhanced electron density for degradation of bisphenol pollutants in PMS/vis system.

Tetracycline Degradation by Peroxydisulfate Activated by Waste Pulp/Paper Mill Sludge Biochars Derived at Different Pyrolysis Temperature. WATER 2022.

Abstract
The technique of using biochar-based catalysts in persulfate activation is a promising alternative to remov emerging and refractory pollutants (e.g., tetracycline-) in wastewater. However, the situation of biochars derived from waste pulp/paper mill sludge is still unclear. The pulp/paper mill sludge biochars (SBC300, SBC500, and SBC700) were obtained and characterized at pyrolysis temperatures of 300, 500, and 700 °C. Tetracycline degradation using peroxydisulfate activated by SBCs was investigated. The results demonstrated the removal efficiencies of tetracycline in SBC300-, SBC500- and SBC700-peroxydisulfate systems, which increased with the pyrolysis temperatures and were 4.3, 4.8, and 5.0 times that of a system with peroxydisulfate alone. The experiments of free radical quenching, singlet oxygen quenching, and electrochemistry indicated that the degradation of tetracycline in SBC-peroxydisulfate systems was mainly not a free radical pathway, but a non-radical pathway. Singlet oxygen (1O2) and electron transfer could play main roles in the degradation removal of tetracycline. The removal efficiencies of tetracycline in the SBC-peroxydisulfate systems could be up to 96.0% (SBC700-peroxydisulfate) under the optimum dosage of SBC, the molar ratio of peroxydisulfate to tetracycline and the solution pH value. The results indicate that a SBC700-peroxydisulfate system could be an effective “trash-to-treasure” treatment technique for wastewater containing antibiotics.

Abstract
Developing a low-cost and efficient photocatalysts activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for organic pollutants degradation are recognized as an importance way for dealing with environmental pollution. In this work, Fe-rectorite catalyst was synthesized by a simple impregnation-calcine method to synergetic photo activate PMS for antibiotics degradation. As expected, the Fe-rectorite/PMS/Light system exhibits superior catalytic performance for tetracycline (TC) removal, which achieving 96.4% removal rate of TC (30 mg/L) under light within 60 min. Fe-retorite has better degradation performance for TC than rectorite under photo-mediation. The enhancement of the degradation performance of TC by Fe-retorite can be attributed to the improvement of the separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes in the rectorite by the loading of Fe2O3, and the accelerated active Fe(Ⅱ)/Fe(Ⅲ) cycle on the surface under photo-mediation. The large specific surface area and abundant hydroxyl groups of rectorite can also provide active sites for PMS activation. The quenching experiment and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) test were indicated that the h+, SO4•-, •OH, and O2-• all contributed to TC degradation. And the possible degradation pathway was proposed by LC-MS. This work helps induced a novel direction that design green, efficient, and recyclable heterogeneous catalysts to synergetic photoinduced PMS activation for enhanced degradation of TC.

Abstract
Metal-doped MgFe2O4 spinel ferrite synthesized from saprolite laterite nickel ore was verified as an efficient heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst for degrading antibiotics including tetracycline (TC) and metronidazole (MNZ) in a "catalyst/oxalic acid (H2C2O4)/visible light (vis)" system. The degradation efficiencies reached over 95% and total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiencies were nearly 50% of the two antibiotics within 210 min, under the optimal conditions, especially 90% catalytic activity of the fresh catalyst was maintained after five cycles, suggesting the ferrite possessed excellent degrading performance, cycling stability and applicability. Moreover, the degradation mechanism and pathway of TC were elucidated in detail. Results revealed that the [≡Fe(C2O4)3]3- complex ions formed by octahedral Fe3+ in spinel ferrite with oxalate ions on the surface of MgFe2O4, played the key role in production of ·OH radicals which decomposed antibiotic TC into small molecules even mineralized in three pathways. Cost-effective preparation, high catalytic performance and long cycle life may accelerate the practical application of the heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst.

Facile fabrication of Fe/Fe 3C embedded in N-doped carbon nanofiber for efficient degradation of tetracycline via peroxymonosulfate activation: Role of superoxide radical and singlet oxygen. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 609:86-101. [PMID: 34890952 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.11.178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2021] [Revised: 11/26/2021] [Accepted: 11/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
The toxic metal ions leaching and metal nanoparticles agglomeration were the critical issues for metal-based carbon materials during the peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation processes. Herein, a facile strategy was first proposed that zero-dimensional Fe/Fe3C nanoparticles were embedded in one-dimensional N-doped carbon nanofiber (Fe/Fe3C@NCNF) to solve the above challenges. The as-obtained Fe/Fe3C@NCNF-800 possessed a low Ea value (11.7 kJ/mol) and exhibited high activity for activating PMS to degrade tetracycline (TC) in a wide range of pH 3-11. As expected, the iron ions leaching concentration of Fe/Fe3C@NCNF-800 was very low (0.082 mg/L). Meanwhile, the Fe/Fe3C@NCNF-800 was easily recovered from the reaction solution due to its magnetic properties. Both superoxide radicals (O2∙-) and non-radical of singlet oxygen (1O2) were the primary reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the Fe/Fe3C@NCNF-800/PMS system via quenching tests and electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR). The catalytic mechanism suggested that the Fe/Fe3C and graphitic N were the main active sites in the Fe/Fe3C@NCNF-800 for PMS activation. This work provided a facile method for the preparation of Fe-based carbon materials with high catalytic ability, low metal leaching and easy recycling, showing a broad prospect for environmental applications.

Abstract
Direct or indirect discharge of wastes containing organic pollutants have contributed to the environmental pollution globally. Decontamination of highly polluted natural resources such as water using an effective treatment is a great challenge for public health and environmental protection. Photodegradation of organic pollutants using efficient photocatalyst has attracted extensive interest due to their stability, effectiveness towards degradation efficiency, energy, and cost efficiency. Among various photocatalysts, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and their derivatives have shown great potential towards photodegradation of organic pollutants. Herein, we review the mechanism, key factors, and performance of LDHs and their derivatives for the photodegradation of organic pollutants. LDH-based photocatalysts are classified into three different categories namely unmodified LDHs, modified LDHs, and calcined LDHs. Each LDH category is reviewed separately in terms of their photodegradation efficiency and kinetics of degradation. In addition, the effect of photocatalyst dose, pH, and initial concentration of pollutant as well as photocatalytic mechanisms are also summarized. Lastly, the stability and reusability of different photocatalysts are discussed. Challenges related to modeling the LDHs and its derivatives are addressed in order to improve their functional capacity.

Abstract
Hybrid semi-conductor heterojunction appears to be a promising technology for pollutant removal and wastewater treatment. However, the interface modification of the heterojunction and the working mechanisms remain elusive, thus impeding the development of highly efficient photocatalysis. In this work, we highlighted the key role played by the 3D/2D In2O3/oxygen doped graphitic carbon nitrides (g-C3N4) heterojunction, named In2O3/OGCN, on the photocatalytic performance. The characteristic results showed a balance of oxygen between In2O3 and OGCN, which enabled a stable interaction in the heterojunction to specifically tune the oxidation power, and this strategy can be applied to rationally control the photocatalytic activity of organic pollutants. The optimized In2O3/OGCN heterojunction demonstrated a notable photocatalytic degradation capability for bisphenol A (BPA), which was better than that of pristine In2O3 and OGCN, respectively. This photocatalyst had a great physical stability and can be recycled for further use. Meanwhile, the exceptional photodegradation capacity was attributed to spatially separated charge carriers, fast-charge transportation characteristics, and the special band gap structure of In2O3/OGCN heterojunction. In addition, the covalent bond between In-O significantly improved oxygen stability in the lattice, thereby increasing the reliability of the material. This research presents a new opportunity to fabricate metal oxides/OGCN heterojunction photocatalysts which have potential application in wastewater treatment by adjusting the oxygen between the two compounds in heterojunction.

Abstract
The use of single-atom iron catalysts in heterogeneous Fenton-like reactions has demonstrated tremendous potential for antibiotic wastewater treatment. In this study, single-atom iron fixed on nitrogen-doped porous carbon materials (Fe-ISAs@CN) was synthesised using a metal organic framework (MOF) as a precursor. Fe-ISAs@CN was applied as a heterogeneous Fenton catalyst to activate H2O2 for the degradation of sulfadiazine (SDZ) in an aqueous solution. The physical and chemical properties of Fe-ISAs@CN were characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and rotating disk electrode (RDE) measurements. The results of our degradation experiments indicated that Fe-ISAs@CN exhibited remarkable activity and stability for the degradation of SDZ over a wide pH range; even after five cycles, Fe-ISAs@CN retained a high catalytic efficiency (>80%). The 5,5-dimethyl-1-oxaporphyrin-n-oxide (DMPO)-X signal captured by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy indicated that a large amount of hydroxyl radicals (OH) was produced in the reaction system. Quench tests indicated that the OH was the main active substance in the degradation of SDZ. The degradation products of the reaction were analysed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS), and possible degradation pathways for the SDZ degradation were proposed.

Abstract
In this work, cost-effective, magnetic carbon-supported Fe@Ti composite (Fe@Ti/Cs) with abundant active sites was synthesized by one-step carbothermal reduction of ilmenite with the assistance of microwave oven and utilized as a highly efficient persulfate (PS) activator for the wastewater purification. The coexistence of Fe0/2+/3+, Ti3+/4+ and oxygen vacancies on Fe@Ti/Cs was found to favor for the electron transfer to PS, which facilitate the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Catalytic experiment results showed that the Fe@Ti/C-4 produced from ilmenite/carbon with a mass ratio of 4:1 exhibited the best catalytic activation performance towards PS for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB). Usage of merely 0.12 g/L Fe@Ti/C-4 enabled the removal of 94.01% RhB (200 mg/L) within 30 min in the PS containing system, significantly outperforming ilmenite + PS (29.29%) and carbon + PS (49.91%) systems tested under the same conditions. The physico-chemical properties of the produced Fe@Ti/Cs before and after the reaction were carefully characterized. Radical scavenging experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis were carried out to better understand the underlying mechanism. The results indicate that oxygen vacancies in Fe@Ti/C-4 promoted the electron transfer and participated in the transition metal redox cycle to generate ROS in the PS-containing system, which was highly efficient for degrading RhB into small molecules and finally enabling mineralization. This work offers a new perspective for designing highly efficient and stable PS activators with long life derived from natural ore for environmental remediation.

Abstract
The complete removal of tetracycline residuals under visible light still is a challenging task because of their robust ring structure. To tackle this issue, we explore a novel Bi2O3-sensitized TiO2 visible-light photocatalyst by combining p-n heterojunction with hollow structure. The hollow TiO2/Bi2O3 photocatalyst manifests excellent photocatalytic performance and recyclability toward the complete degradation (100%) of antibiotics under visible light (λ > 420 nm) because of the synergistic effect of p-n heterojunction and hollow structure, successfully overcoming the challenge of the incomplete removal of antibiotics over almost all of the reported visible-light photocatalysts. Additionally, the effects of inorganic ions, pH value, water matrix, and outdoor light on the degradation of tetracyclines were investigated with many details. Notably, the degradation pathways and mechanism of tetracycline were revealed according to trapping experiments, HPLC-MS, and photoelectrochemical characterizations. Therefore, this work provides a new insight into developing visible-light photocatalysts with excellent photocatalytic performances for the complete removal of other refractory contaminants.

Abstract
Hierarchically three dimensional (3D) flower-like magnesium peroxide (MgO2) nanostructures were synthesized through a facile one-step precipitation method. The effects of magnesium salt, reaction temperature, precipitant and surfactant on the morphology and structure of MgO2 were systematically investigated. The as-obtained samples using magnesium sulfate, ammonia and trisodium citrate were composed of 3D flowers assembled by numerous nanosheets, and SO42- played a vital role in the formation of flower-like nanostructures. The 3D flower-like MgO2 possessed high active oxygen content of 24.10 wt% and large specific surface area of 385 m2/g. Ten mg of flower-like MgO2 could efficiently degrade 90 % of tetracycline (TC) within 60 min under stirring condition. ESR tests and radical quenching experiments suggested that hydroxyl radicals were crucial for TC degradation. Moreover, the column filled with flower-like MgO2 could quickly and efficiently eliminate TC with the assistance of air flow, and the degradation efficiency almost had no decrease even after twenty consecutive runs. Significantly, the concentrations of magnesium and iron ions dissolved in the filtrate from the column were far below the limits of drinking water standards. Additionally, the possible degradation pathways of TC were also proposed according to the determination of generated intermediates during the degradation process.

Abstract
The exceptional nature of WO3-x dots has inspired widespread interest, but it is still a significant challenge to synthesize high-quality WO3-x dots without using unstable reactants, expensive equipment, and complex synthetic processes. Herein, the synthesis of ligand-free WO3-x dots is reported that are highly dispersible and rich in oxygen vacancies by a simple but straightforward exfoliation of bulk WS2 and a mild follow-up chemical conversion. Surprisingly, the WO3-x dots emerged as co-reactants for the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of Ru(bpy)3 2+ with a comparable ECL efficiency to the well-known Ru(bpy)3 2+ /tripropylamine (TPrA) system. Moreover, compared to TPrA, whose toxicity remains a critical issue of concern, the WO3-x dots were ca. 300-fold less toxic. The potency of WO3-x dots was further explored in the detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) with the most competitive limit of detection so far.

Synergic removal of tetracycline using hydrophilic three-dimensional nitrogen-doped porous carbon embedded with copper oxide nanoparticles by coupling adsorption and photocatalytic oxidation processes. J Colloid Interface Sci 2020; 581:350-361. [PMID: 32771744 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2020.07.071] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2019] [Revised: 06/23/2020] [Accepted: 07/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Adsorption and photocatalytic oxidation are promising technologies for eliminating antibiotics (e.g. tetracycline) in aquatic environments. However, traditional powdery nanomaterials are limited by drawbacks of difficult separation and lack of synergistic function, which do not conform to the practical demand. Herein, we developed a simple one-step gelation-pyrolysis route to fabricate hydrophilic three-dimensional (3D) porous photocatalytic adsorbent, in which CuO nanoparticles are uniformly and firmly embedded in nitrogen-doped (N-doped) porous carbon frameworks. The obtained N-doped carbon/CuO bulky composites exhibited excellent ability to adsorb tetracycline hydrochloride (TC), which was subsequently photo-oxidized under visible light. Their hydrophilic nature favors the adsorption processes toward TC, with a maximum adsorption capacity reaching 25.03 mg∙g-1. In addition, >94.4% of TC molecules could be photo-degraded in 4 h with good cycling efficiency after three consecutive tests. Finally, a reaction scheme for removal process of TC was proposed. The obtained 3D porous N-doped carbon/CuO nanocomposites show great promise for efficient removal of antibiotics in aqueous solution by synergistically utilizing adsorption and photocatalytic oxidation processes.

Abstract
Polymer hydrogel usually has limited catalytic activity and stability in Fenton catalysis. Here, we presented for the first time the preparation of a novel double-metal-crosslinked alginate hydrogel using graphene oxide to facilitate the Fe(II)/Fe(III) redox cycles. Five multivalent metal cations were used as crosslinkers to prepare different alginate-GO-M (Fe(III), Fe(II), La(III), Ce(III), and Co(II)), and the effects of assisted metal cations (La(III), Ce(III), and Co(II)) on different Fe(II) bimetallic alginate-GO-Fe-M(AG-Fe-M) complexes were investigated. Double-metal-crosslinked alginate-GO hydrogels can degrade tetracycline much faster during the initial 10 min than single-metal-crosslinked hydrogels. In addition, the release of iron from AG-Fe-Ce (10.59 ppm) was less than that from AG-Fe-Co (21.57 ppm) and AG-Fe-La (25.6 ppm) during the Fenton reaction. More importantly, the AG-Fe-Ce did not release TOC and maintained most of the catalytic activity after four reuse cycles, confirmed its excellent stability. For the treatment of raw water containing a high proportion of proteinaceous matter and tetracycline, the AG-Fe-Ce significantly reduced the molecular weight of the dissolved organic matter. We deduced that the humic acid and protein show good complexation ability to tetracycline, thereby reduced its bioavailability. This study provides new insights into the synthesis of polymer catalysts for water treatment.

Abstract
In this work, the application of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for the removal of antibiotics from water has been reviewed. The present concern about water has been exposed, and the main problems derived from the presence of emerging pollutants have been analyzed. Photolysis processes, ozone-based AOPs including ozonation, O3/UV, O3/H2O2, and O3/H2O2/UV, hydrogen peroxide-based methods (i.e., H2O2/UV, Fenton, Fenton-like, hetero-Fenton, and photo-Fenton), heterogeneous photocatalysis (TiO2/UV and TiO2/H2O2/UV systems), and sonochemical and electrooxidative AOPs have been reviewed. The main challenges and prospects of AOPs, as well as some recommendations for the improvement of AOPs aimed at the removal of antibiotics from wastewaters, are pointed out.
