| Summary: | Widespread concerns continue to be raised about the impacts of exposure to chemical compounds with endocrine disrupting
activities. To date, the percolation of endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) effluent into the aquatic system remains an intricate
challenge abroad the nations. With the innovation of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), there has been a consistent growing
interest in this research field. Hence, the aim of this paper is to focus one such method within the AOPs, namely, heterogeneous
photocatalysis and how it is used on the abatement of EDCs, phthalates, bisphenol A and chlorophenols in particular, using
TiO2-based catalysts. Degradation mechanisms, pathways, and intermediate products of various EDCs for TiO2 photocatalysis
are described in detail. The effect of key operational parameters on TiO2 photocatalytic degradation of various EDCs is then
specifically covered. Finally, the future prospects together with the challenges for the TiO2 photocatalysis on EDCs degradation are
summarized and discussed. |
