Although heterogeneous photocatalysis has been recognized as a promising technology for decontaminating and disinfecting municipal industrial wastewater over the last few decades, it not yet successfully transitioned from laboratory-scale research to real-world applications. This limited progress is attributed inherent physicochemical properties of most photocatalytic materials available, which exhibit reduced photoefficiency under visible light irradiation, along with multiple engineering considerations. comprehensive review delves into intricate dynamics reactions kinetics, exploring several types reactors elucidating significance employed in treatment. critical survey systematically examines effectiveness different such titania, zinc oxide graphitic carbon nitride are commercially applied reactor systems. Understanding role these essential address challenges associated Furthermore, discussion extends beyond technical aspects encompass broader landscape hindering commercialization widespread adoption technologies. By critically evaluating challenges, minireview aims provide valuable insights researchers, engineers, policymakers seeking advance implement treatment on scale. synthesis knowledge consolidates current state field outlines future prospects overcoming barriers optimizing potential processes environmental remediation.
