About the topic:
Photocatalysis has emerged as a highly efficient method to remove the pollutants and other harmful chemical components in waste water by the redox reactions, which has showed significant meanings for wastewater treatment. The photocatalysis is cross-disciplinary in nature, which involves to materials science, physics, chemistry, engineering and etc. “Photocatalysis for waste water treatment” is involved to the synthesis and discovery of photo catalysts by different new approaches, the modification of known photo catalysts, the exploration and explanation of photocatalysis mechanism, advances of photo catalysts for wastewater treatment. This special issue can provide the channels to exchange and share the novel ideas and recent researches for the researchers dedicated to photocatalysis for wastewater treatment. Subject areas include, but are not limited to:
Photochemistry
Catalysis mechanism
Wastewater treatment
Synthesis of photo catalysts
Materials chemistry
Materials science
Surface reaction
Environmental protection.

Abstract
With increasing population levels and rapidly growing industries worldwide, the purification of water contaminated with different impurities is one of the biggest challenges we face in recent times. Photocatalysis holds great potential as an efficient mineralization process to remove the foreign matter present in wastewater. Rapid advancement [...]

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the degradation of amido black dye in an aqueous solution using ultra-violet (UV) light catalyzed by iron oxide nanoparticles (nano-Fe). The nano-Fe was synthesized by sodium borohydride reduction of ferric chloride solution and was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) [...]

Research Article
Abstract
This work reports the performance of a sequential adsorption/photocatalysis process using activated carbon fibers with deposited TiO2 for the elimination of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIP) in water. A commercial activated carbon fiber (ACF10) was selected as the support, and a TiO2 coating was [...]
