TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the use of sunlight to produce the OH radicals by TiO2 photocatalysis and photo-Fenton process and summarized most of the research carried out related to solar photocatalytic degradation of water contaminants and how it could significantly contribute to the treatment of persistent toxic compounds.

TL;DR: In this article, the experimental systems necessary for performing pilot-plant scale solar photocatalytic experiments are described, as well as the basic components of these pilot plants and the fundamental parameters related to solar photochemical reactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the technical feasibility and performance of photocatalytic degradation of four water-soluble pesticides (diuron, imidacloprid, formetanate and methomyl) have been studied at pilot scale in two well-defined systems of special interest because natural-solar UV light can be used: heterogeneous photocatalysis with titanium dioxide and homogeneous photocATalysis by photo-Fenton.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of sunlight to produce the OH radicals is discussed, and the systems necessary for performing solar photocatalysis are described, as well as some experimental systems erected to optimize this disinfecting technique.
