    Abstract Growing technologies, increasing population and environmental pollution lead to severe contamination of water and require advanced water treatment technologies. These aspects lead to the need to purify water with advanced smart materials. This paper reviews the recent advances (during the last 5 years) in photocatalytic composite membranes used for water treatment. For this purpose, the authors have reviewed the main materials used in the development of (photocatalytic membranes) PMs, environmental and operational factors affecting the performance of photocatalytic membranes, and the latest developments and applications of PMs in water purifications. The composite photocatalytic membranes show good performance in the removal and degradation of pollutants from water.

    Abstract In recent years, organic pollutants have become a global problem due to their negative impact on human health and the environment. Photocatalysis is one of the most promising methods for the removal of organic pollutants from wastewater, and oxide semiconductor materials have proven to be among the best in this regard. This paper presents the evolution of the development of metal oxide nanostructures (MONs) as photocatalysts for ciprofloxacin degradation. It begins with an overview of the role of these materials in photocatalysis; then, it discusses methods of obtaining them. Then, a detailed review of the most important oxide semiconductors (ZnO, TiO

    Abstract Neodymium (Nd)-doped ZnO nanostructures with different amounts of Nd were obtained by the electrospinning-calcination method. X-ray diffraction measurements indicated that the prepared nanostructures have a wurtzite structure without undesirable impurities. Nd doping changes the mean crystallite size as well the lattice strain, as proved by Williamson-Hall plots. The ZnO-based nanostructures were tested as photocatalysts for methylene blue (MB) dye and ciprofloxacin (CIP) drug pollutant degradations under visible light irradiation. Corroborating the obtained results, it was found that the reaction rate constant increased almost linearly with the mean crystallite size (from 2.235 × 10

  5. Article: Tuning of Sm3+ and Er3+-doped TiO2 nanofibers for enhancement of the photocatalytic performance: Optimization of the photodegradation conditions

    Abstract Titanium dioxide (TiO₂)-based nanofibers doped with samarium (Sm³⁺) and erbium (Er³⁺) at doping levels tuned in the range of 0.05–1.0% were prepared by the electrospinning-calcination method. The produced materials were well characterized by X-ray diffraction, SEM, EDX, and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. These one-dimensional nanostructures showed a crystalline structure with values of fiber diameters values between 60 and 100 nm. The best catalyst sample of this study was formulated as TiO₂:Sm (0.1%) and sintered at 600 °C. And, it was employed to intensify the photocatalytic process under visible-light irradiation. Likewise, the chemometric approach was applied to optimize the process. The results revealed that the rate constant for the photo-degradation of a cationic organic pollutant was significantly improved (k = 3.496 × 10⁻¹ min⁻¹). In terms of the reaction half-life, the intensification and optimization of the process led to a decrease in the half-life of the reaction from 68 to 2 min. And, these are outstanding findings for the photo-degradation process under visible-light irradiation. In addition, the total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiencies were found to be 69.95% and 72.30% for the mineralization of MB and CIP, respectively, after a 360 min reaction time, which are significant results. Moreover, this material demonstrated remarkable photocatalytic activity for the degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) with a 99.6% removal efficiency and a rate constant of 4.292 × 10⁻¹ min⁻¹. Finally, the stability and reusability of this catalyst were demonstrated during five repetitive cycles of the CIP photodegradation.
