Abstract

Among the commonly used advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) commonly employed in wastewater remediation, photocatalytic remediation has remained prominent and promising. This is because the process is effective in degrading and even mineralizing numerous organic pollutants including ofloxacin. In view of that, various categories photocatalysts such as titanium-based, zinc-based, bismuth-based, silver-based, and others have been and are still continuously tested by various researchers in remediating wastewater contaminated by pollutants such as ofloxacin. This short review focuses on reviewing some publications, especially those reported in the last decade involving photocatalytic degradation of ofloxacin in aqueous media.
