Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) introduce a hopeful technology for the removal of water polluted with hard degradable organic compounds. Today, one of the main effective AOP technologies to degrade these hazardous organics is via the photocatalytic process. The present review focuses on the recent progress in the fixedbed and immobilized nanophotocatalysts and also their applications for resolving the environmental concerns. Various organics elimination using a variety of photocatalysts and innovative reactors are discussed. This critical review summarizes the recent progress in the synthesis and modification (physical and chemical) of semiconductors. Furthermore, different ways of photocatalysts immobilization are explained in details. By considering different dangerous chemicals present in wastewater and different industries, catalytic methods used by researchers to degrade these organic compounds are reviewed. In addition, the degradation pathway of some organics through the catalytic operation is described.
