Pharmaceuticals and personal care products in water and wastewater: a review of treatment processes and use of photocatalyst immobilized on functionalized carbon in AOP degradation

Abstract: The presence of emerging contaminants such as pharmaceutical and personal care products in many aqueous matrices have been reported. One of such matrix is streams of wastewater, including wastewater treatment plants inflows and outflows and wastewater flow by-passing wastewater treatment plants. Their persistence arises from their resistant to breakdown, hence they may remain in the environment over long time, with a potential to cause adverse effects including endocrine disruption, gene toxicity, the impositi… Show more

“…There are several reviews on the degradation of pharmaceuticals in water [36,[58][59][60], with focus mainly on adsorption and photocatalytic processes. In this present review, the degradation activity of graphene and graphene-based composites in AOPs such as direct catalytic degradation, electron-Fenton and chemical oxidation process, and sonocatalytic/sonophotocatalytic processes will be explored in addition to photocatalytic processes.…”
