“…These effects include severe lung diseases associated with GO [154], cytotoxicity on human erythrocytes and skin fibroblast cells [155], and reduced microbial metabolic activity [156,157]. Accordingly, there is a trend towards the development of 2D or 3D macrostructures (membranes, fibers, aerogels, and sponges) to facilitate the recovery of this material [158,159].…”

The objective of this study was to summarize the results obtained in a wide research project carried out for more than 15 years on the catalytic activity of different catalysts (activated carbon, metal–carbon xerogels/aerogels, iron-doped silica xerogels, ruthenium metal complexes, reduced graphene oxide-metal oxide composites, and zeolites) in the photooxidation (by using UV or solar radiation) and ozonation of water pollutants, including herbicides, naphthalenesulfonic acids, sodium para-chlorobenzoate, nitroimidazoles, tetracyclines, parabens, sulfamethazine, sodium diatrizoate, cytarabine, and surfactants. All catalysts were synthesized and then texturally, chemically, and electronically characterized using numerous experimental techniques, including N2 and CO2 adsorption, mercury porosimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance UV–vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence analysis, and transmission electron microscopy. The behavior of these materials as photocatalysts and ozonation catalysts was related to their characteristics, and the catalytic mechanisms in these advanced oxidation processes were explored. Investigations were conducted into the effects on pollutant degradation, total organic carbon reduction, and water toxicity of operational variables and the presence of different chemical species in ultrapure, surface, ground, and wastewaters. Finally, a review is provided of the most recent and relevant published studies on photocatalysis and catalyzed ozonation in water treatments using similar catalysts to those examined in our project.

“…Microalgae have shown biodegradation to be an effective mechanism for the removal of PACs in water. They have biodegraded carbamazepine, ibuprofen, caffeine and tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate in previous studies [134,135]. Several types of enzymatic reactions have been brought forward to describe the degradation exhibited by microalgae towards PACs, and some of these reactions include oxidation, ring cleavage, demethylation, hydroxylation, hydrogenation, carboxylation, halogenation, decarboxylation and glycosylation [129][130][131][132][133][134][135].…”

“…Apart from that, graphene chemical mobility, which allow for its modification to form other functionalized advanced carbon materials. Graphene oxides (GOs) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) are among the most advanced graphene-based engineering materials (Figure 4) [132,133] They are regarded as the fascinating forms of graphene materials and thus have versatile applications in various fields such as biomedicines, sensors, metrology, electronic devices, as well as environmental pollutant's remediation in environmental waters [134]. In adsorption studies, their unique chemical properties and high specific surface area has been emphasized.…”
