This review summarizes recent advances in solar advanced oxidation processes for degrading pesticides and discusses their potential application in wastewater reclamation. It also presents the global occurrence of pesticides and optimal operating parameters for their removal from different water matrices.
This review summarizes recent advances in solar advanced oxidation processes for degrading pesticides under different reaction mechanisms, electrode material, and sunlight. The performance of the solar treatments, which are highly depen-dent on the solar irradiation and the photocatalysts used in the process, are also mentioned. The fast generation and use of photons increase the emerging pollutants' degradation/miner-alization rate, then, solar technologies seem to be excellent processes for wastewater reclamation in near future. This review also presents the worldwide occurrence of pesticides and their removal from distinct water matrices summarizing optimal operating parameters and degradation efficiencies. Finally, outlooks and perspectives are provided.
