Photodegradation of Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) and Antibacterial Activity in Water by Transition Metals
The intensity of emerging pollutants such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the aquatic and terrestrial environment is a major source of concern to researchers. The current conventional methods of wastewater treatment plants are considered not efficient enough in the complete removal of the recalcitrant contaminants from water. The use of modified transition metals in visible responsive synthesis to degrade PPCPs and other pollutants (organic and inorganic) is considered as a developing green chemistry and sustainable technology. Hence, this review presents the state-of-the-art discussion on the novel photodegradation of PPCPs, and antibacterial activities of transition metal-modified magnetite materials for wastewater treatment, and suggested directions for the future. Transition metal-modified magnetite nanostructured photocatalysis is identified as one of the best candidates employed in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for wastewater treatment and has been found to efficiently destroy bacterial spores and effectively remove recalcitrant pollutants in water. Therefore, this article hopes to contribute scientific knowledge along with existing ones on advanced mechanisms and technology used in wastewater treatment.
