TL;DR: In this article, a photoreactor with immobilized TiO2 has led to a higher quantum efficiency than the suspension treatment and electron densities were calculated to predict the oxidizing properties of UV irradiated TiO 2 powders.

TL;DR: The expected selectivity of the photo-Fenton reaction for aromatic compounds was proven by comparison of the decrease in total organic carbon with the removal of total phenolic content, and no non-degradable intermediates were produced.

TL;DR: In this article, the photochemical mineralization of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) and of a wastewater from dyehouse industry by the methods UV/O3, UV/H2O2 and UV/TiO2 (photo-Fenton reaction) were compared.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Photo-Fenton process was successfully applied to a mixture of ten commercially available pesticides that served as a model for a proposed recycling plant for pesticide bottles, and the results showed that although all of them were degradable, there were remarkable differences concerning the reaction rate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Olive Mill wastewater (OMW), a highly polluted wastewater from the olive oil industry, was treated by solar photocatalysis and solar photo-Fenton, and two pilot-plant reactors were used; one of conventional CPC type and an open nonconcentrating Falling Film Reactor.
