Degradation of flumequine by photocatalysis and evaluation of antimicrobial activity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the efficiencies of advanced oxidation processes (UV/TiO2 and UV/ TiO2/H2O2) for the flumequine degradation, an antimicrobial and emergent pollutant.

Solar photocatalytic mineralization of 2,4-dichlorophenol and mixtures of pesticides: Kinetic model of mineralization
TL;DR: In this article, a solar heterogeneous photocatalytic process for phytosanitary run off from agricultural fields represents highly disseminated local sources of pollution and corresponds to relatively small volumes which need to be treated (around 5m 3 for a farm of a few tens of hectares).

Inactivation of Enterococcus faecalis in simulated wastewater treatment plant effluent by solar photo-Fenton at initial neutral pH
E. Ortega-Gómez,B. Esteban García,M.M. Ballesteros Martín,M.M. Ballesteros Martín,P. Fernández Ibáñez,J.A. Sánchez Pérez +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, solar photo-Fenton at initial neutral pH in compound parabolic collectors with 20mg L−L−1 of Fe2+ and 50mg H2O2 in different matrices [saline solution (09% NaCl), saline solution with resorcinol and a simulated secondary effluent from a municipal wastewater treatment plant (SEWWTP) was carried out by solar photo -Fenton, and the results were satisfactorily fitted to a modified version of the classical Chick-Watson model.

TiO2 photocatalysis and related surface phenomena
TL;DR: The field of photocatalysis can be traced back more than 80 years to early observations of the chalking of titania-based paints and to studies of the darkening of metal oxides in contact with organic compounds in sunlight as discussed by the authors.
