Photocatalytic, electrocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic degradation of pharmaceuticals in aqueous media: Analytical methods, mechanisms, simulations, catalysts and reactors

Photocatalytic degradation of drugs and dyes using a maching learning approach

“…[68][69][70][71][72][73][74] These models are trained using historical data on the performance of catalysts and other relevant parameters such as temperature, pH, and concentration of pollutants. [75][76][77][78][79][80][81] Once trained, these models can accurately predict the catalytic degradation performance of organic pollutants, allowing researchers and engineers to optimize the selection and design of catalysts for efficient wastewater treatment. [82][83][84][85][86][87] Machine learning algorithms have also been used to examine the hydraulic conditions for efficient occulation during wastewater treatment.…”

3D printed SrNbO2N photocatalyst for degradation of organic pollutants in water

“…While the full mechanism of photochemical degradation of methylene blue is complex and unwieldly to detail with first-principle methods, a useful and common approximation is to study the reaction of MB with hydroxyl radicals (OH*). 57 Under photoactive conditions, there is an abundance of OH*, which attack the MB molecule. The activation barriers for such reactions are low, usually only slightly above the diffusion limit, and depend on the catalyst surface and irradiation.…”

“…•− ) and reducing (e aq − ) the electron species. 119 The successful effectuation of photocatalysis can be determined by a number of factors and experimental conditions which can be optimized by use of factorial design, 120 for example in the removal of IBU, smaller volumes of wastewater, and higher pH (alkaline), which prove to be more effective. 121 Higher temperature generally favors the removal of antibiotics.…”

“…The overall evaluation of any catalysis is performed by finding its oxidative (OH • , O 2 •– , HO 2 • , and SO 5 •– ) and reducing (e aq – ) the electron species . The successful effectuation of photocatalysis can be determined by a number of factors and experimental conditions which can be optimized by use of factorial design, for example in the removal of IBU, smaller volumes of wastewater, and higher pH (alkaline), which prove to be more effective .…”
