“…However, various TiO 2 -based photocatalysts can be successfully applied under visible light [109]. Many researchers have studied the performance of TiO 2 -based photocatalysts under UV-light [87,[110][111][112], visible light [77,79,113,114], simulated solar light irradiation [94,101,104,115] and natural sunlight [116][117][118]. Eskandarian et al [119] studied the photocatalytic removal of SMX using LED lamps emitting light in different ranges of UV: UV-A (365 ± 10 nm), UV-B (300 ± 5 nm) and UV-C (260 ± 10 nm).…”

The extensive application of antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine has led to their widespread occurrence in a natural aquatic environment. Global health crisis is associated with the fast development of antimicrobial resistance, as more and more infectious diseases cannot be treated more than once. Sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim and ciprofloxacin are the most commonly detected antibiotics in water systems worldwide. The persistent and toxic nature of these antibiotics makes their elimination by conventional treatment methods at wastewater treatment plants almost impossible. The application of advanced oxidation processes and heterogeneous photocatalysis over TiO2-based materials is a promising solution. This highly efficient technology has the potential to be sustainable, cost-efficient and energy-efficient. A comprehensive review on the application of various TiO2-based photocatalysts for the degradation of sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim and ciprofloxacin is focused on highlighting their photocatalytic performance under various reaction conditions (different amounts of pollutant and photocatalyst, pH, light source, reaction media, presence of inorganic ions, natural organic matter, oxidants). Mineralization efficiency and ecotoxicity of final products have been also considered. Further research needs have been presented based on the literature findings. Among them, design and development of highly efficient under sunlight, stable, recyclable and cost-effective TiO2-based materials; usage of real wastewaters for photocatalytic tests; and compulsory assessment of products ecotoxicity are the most important research tasks in order to meet requirements for industrial application.

“…Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are a kind of methods which rely on the production of radical species to treat refractory organic contaminants. 14 Hydroxyl radical (HOc)-based AOPs have been widely studied for the removal of emerging contaminants, because HOc is a non-selective and powerful oxidant. [15][16][17][18][19] Except hydroxyl radical, sulfate radical (SO 4 c À ) has received increasing attention due to its higher redox potential (E 0 ¼ 2.5-3.1 V) compared with hydroxyl radical (E 0 ¼ 1.9-2.7 V).…”

“…However, it must be considered that such systems can be activated only by UV light. Recent studies have been focused on the supporting provided to N-doped TiO 2 by various polymeric substrates, such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) [42], polypropylene (PP) [43], polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) [44], polyaniline (PANI) [45] and polystyrene (PS) [46][47][48][49][50]. Many authors reported that the coupling of semiconductors with polymers improves the photoactivity of N-doped TiO 2 for the degradation of water pollutants as well as for the inactivation of bacteria under visible-light irradiation (Table 2).…”

This mini review summarizes the preparation and testing of polymeric composites with a N-doped TiO2 photocatalyst to effectively design a photocatalytic system for water pollutant degradation under visible light. In detail, the various N-doped TiO2/polymer composites reported in the literature are briefly discussed along with some examples dealing with the use of N-doped TiO2 particles, both supported on the external surface of polymers and dispersed within the structure of visible-light-transparent polymeric aerogels. Finally, the scope for future works and challenges for the commercialization of such materials are highlighted.
