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: The main conclusions arrived at from the overall assessment of the literature are that more work needs to be done on degradation kinetics and reactor modeling of the combined process, and also dynamics of the initial attack on primary contaminants and intermediate species generation.

TL;DR: The GGEC-2008-057 record was created on 2008-01-23, modified on 2016-08-08 as discussed by the authors, and was later extended to the present version.

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 article, the current status of solar photocatalysis and future opportunities for research and industry in this field are identified, including recent relevant relevant bibliography, and an overview of several different solar photoreactors and the main operating process parameters are also provided.
