“…It was found that the amoxicillin conversion was enhanced at increased applied power 619 densities, acidic conditions and in the presence of dissolved air and the maximum removal observed 620 was 40%. 621 27 It is important to note that there is limited literature (Hernández-Sancho et al, 2010;Mahamuni and 622 Adewuyi, 2010;Jordá et al, 2011;Hollender et al 2009;Michael et al, 2012b) dealing with 623 advanced wastewater treatment process economics although this aspect is a very important issue. 624 625 2.5 Effect of disinfection on antibiotics removal 626…”

Urban wastewater treatment plants (UWTPs) are among the main sources of antibiotics' release into various compartments of the environment worldwide. The aim of the present paper is to critically review the fate and removal of various antibiotics in wastewater treatment, focusing on different processes (i.e. biological processes, advanced treatment technologies and disinfection) in view of the current concerns related to the induction of toxic effects in aquatic and terrestrial organisms, and the occurrence of antibiotics that may promote the selection of antibiotic resistance genes and bacteria, as reported in the literature. Where available, estimations of the removal of antibiotics are provided along with the main treatment steps. The removal efficiency during wastewater treatment processes varies and is mainly dependent on a combination of antibiotics' physicochemical properties and the operating conditions of the treatment systems. As a result, the application of alternative techniques including membrane processes, activated carbon adsorption, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), and combinations of them, which may lead to higher removals, may be necessary before the final disposal of the effluents or their reuse for irrigation or groundwater recharge.

“…The literature reports degradation of PCT using various treatments, including ozonation, H 2 O 2 /UV, TiO 2 /UV, electrochemical and photo-Fenton (Vogna et al, 2002;Andreozzi et al, 2003b;Skoumal et al, 2006;Siré s et al, 2006;Yang et al, 2008;Dalmá zio et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2008;Durá n et al, 2011;Jordá et al, 2011;Almeida et al, 2011). Although the photo-Fenton degradation of PCT has been evaluated, a study about the intermediates generated and sample toxicity after the treatment using different iron species has not been reported.…”

“…Finally, the combination of solar and artificial radiation, taking into account the energetic needs throughout the year, showed to be the best alternative to treat 100 m 3 /day of leachate targeting a COD value lesser than 150 ppm and 1000 mg O 2 /L. Jordá et al performed an economic evaluation of the photo-Fenton process to degrade paracetamol in water to form biodegradable reaction intermediates which can be finally removed with a downstream biological treatment [180]. These authors observed that the key feature was to find the shortest chemical treatment time necessary to reach a sufficiently high biodegradability of the treated water which minimized the cost of the overall process.…”

This literature research, although not exhaustive, gives perspective to solar-driven photocatalysis, such as solar photo-Fenton and TiO 2 solar photocatalysis, reported in the literature for the degradation of aqueous organic pollutants. Parameters that influence the degradation and mineralization of organics like catalyst preparation, type and load of catalyst, catalyst phase, pH, applied potential, and type of organic pollutant are addressed. Such parameters may also affect the photoactivity of the catalysts used in the studied solar processes. Solar irradiation is a renewable, abundant, and pollution-free energy source for low-cost commercial applications. Therefore, these solar processes represent an environmentally friendly alternative mainly because the use of electricity can be decreased/avoided.
