Introduction
Innovations and productions of new medicines increased number of pharmaceutical industries with accumulation of waste in rivers and on land. Environmental management part always found non-focused and lead to degradation of nature. Researchers are working on these issues to resolve these problems.This situation enforced research towards zero effluent discharge, green technology and cleaner development mechanism. Semiconductor photocatalysis has been extensively studied by many researchers for the complete oxidation of refractory organics present in effluent1–3, water splitting for hydrogen production 4 and solar cells 5. The application of TiO2 as a photocatalyst is limited by UV radiations and recombination of the hole and electron pairs 6-7. Rapid industrialization has vastly increased water and air pollution problems as the current generation are interested more in profit and less concerned about waste generation. This situation demands fruitful research be done on waste minimization to avoid such situations and to achieve sustainable development. Objective of this review is to search for efficient and cost-effective AOP for wastewater treatment.Solar light-driven effluent treatment methods have been focused and developed for research 8. Titanium dioxide is an N-type semiconductor having an oxygen deficit in its structure. TiO2 is a superior, nontoxic stable and economical photocatalyst that provides a non-selective and efficient oxidizing agent, Hydroxyl radical (OH*) 9-10. TiO2 has shown certain limitations as a photocatalyst: 1) it has a large bandgap and works only under UV radiations; 2) its low quantum yield of OH* due to recombination of holes 11.
Metal doping in TiO21) improves its absorbance in the visible region, e.g. a Ag: 300-800 nm, Co: 400-650 nm and Fe: 300-800 nm, 12-14; and allow it to work under solar radiation to make cost-effective treatment.; 2) provides the excellent trap of electrons prevents recombination of e- and holes results in superior photoactivity 15; 3) the Bandgap reduces from pure TiO2 (3.1 eV) to doped TiO2 (2.8 eV) 16-17. Silver and iron are extensively investigated as a dopant for TiO2and proved superior photocatalysts for mineralization of active pharmaceutical ingredients(API) 18–20. Co-doping of TiO2 using metal dopants is a promising technologyfor solar mineralization of refractory organics in wastewater. Doping of TiO2 with Fe and Ag metals enhances the photocatalytic activity due to large reactive sites for photocatalysis 21–26. Nanomaterials have magical physical and ocular characteristics due to their size and incarceration e? to initiate quantum properties. Nanopowder absorbs much more solar radiation compared to nanofilms. Size, morphology and optical properties can be controlled during solar photocatalysis and photovoltaics results in better absorption of solar irradiations27, 28. Several studies on the photoactivity of Ag-doped TiO2 and Ag-Fe co-doped TiO2 (Ag-Fe CT) catalyst proved co-doped catalyst superior over undoped TiO2 25, 29, 30. Anisotropic structure of Ag dopant improved solar radiation absorbance 31. In this review, we have described recent progress in advanced oxidation processes with metal dopants, co-doped photocatalysts with their properties and bandgap. Synthesis of nano-doped TiO2, mechanism of degradation by photocatalysis, operating variables and their effects on degradation and different techniques to modify optical properties of TiO2 such as the use of metal and non-metal dopants, nanofilms, nanotubes and nanowires are discussed. The feasibility and the effectiveness of recycled photocatalyst have been studied. Hybrid AOPs is proved efficient compared to conventional AOP for complete mineralization of complex organics. Hybrid AOP using Fe doped TiO2 has shown dual characteristics of photocatalysis and Fenton reaction, which has improved decolorization of wastewater 32. Photocatalytic treatment work under normal ambient conditions 33. Efficient methylene blue degradation using combining AOP with Fenton reagents, results in production of more OH radicals 34. Diclofenac and ibuprofen were converted efficiently in to biodegradable intermediates using planar falling film reactor andCoated TiO2 on a Pilkington Active glass under UV radiations 35,36. This review will be useful to select efficient hybrid AOP for specific industrial wastewater treatment.
Advanced Oxidation Processes
AOPs are effluent treatment technology that produces a hydroxyl radical (OH) with highest oxidation potential and performs oxidation of organics to produce carbon dioxide and water as end products. These processes use ozone, photo Fenton reagents, hydrogen peroxide, or semiconductor photocatalysis to generate OH. TiO2 was focused on photocatalysis by many researchers. It is available in three forms anatase, brookite and rutile. Amongst all these, the tetragonal anatase structure performs efficient photocatalysis 37, 38.Various advanced oxidation processes consist of pollutant removal technologies in which hydrogen radicals serve as an active medium. The methods are separated according to the source of the formation of hydroxyl radicals as shown in Fig. 139.

Table 1 shows the oxidation potentials of various oxidizing agents. OH. Radical is nontoxic, nonselective and hasthe highest oxidation potential hence it is capable to mineralize a major category of organic materials from wastewater during photocatalysis.

Major merits of AOP includes the faster rate of mineralization, nonbiodegradable organics are completely oxidized into CO2 and H2O, treated effluent can be directly reused without further purification, avoid sludge generation and its handling problems, it can be easily clubbed with existing ETP with little modification, and economic operation and maintenance compared to incineration. Demerits of AOPs are higher capital costs, complex and unknown reaction chemistry may sometimes lead to more hazardous intermediates formation and photochemical reactor design and operationare difficult. Challenges of AOPs arePhotocatalyst deactivation and unknown routes for different reactions 46, development of proper doped catalysts to enhance the absorption of solar radiation, the selectivity of photocatalyst may sometimes pose a problem in treatment when a mixture of different organics is present, electron and hole recombine to result in lower net generation of OH radicals, scale-up and commercialization of process47 and UV radiations may sometimes degrade ozone, chlorine and hydrogen peroxide which are useful oxidizing agents in the process39.
Titanium Dioxide Photocatalysis
Semiconductor oxides have a greaternumber of surface atoms ona surface which enables photon absorption and performs various oxidation and reduction reactions for complete removal of a variety of organics from aqueous solutions. Titanium dioxide is widely preferred for photocatalysis due to its stability, reusability, nontoxicity, anti-corrosiveness and low cost. Different other oxides that can also be used for photocatalysis are zinc, tin, zirconium, cadmium and iron.Hydroxyl radicals react with organics to produce carbon dioxide and water 6,48. The main reactions involved in photocatalysis are shown below (equation (1) to equation (8)) 49 :
Photon absorption:
MO + h? → MO + e−CB+ h+VB (1)
Oxidation:
h+ + OH- (Surface) → OH • (2)
H2O + h+ → OH •+H+ (3)
H2O + h+ → H+ +½ H2O2 (4)
H2O2→ 2 OH• (5)
Reduction:
O2 +e−→ O2− (6)
H2O +O2− + H+ → H2O2 + O2 (7)
Electron and hole combination:
h+ + e−→ energy (8)
where MO is a metal oxide, h? are photons, h+ are holes. When photons bombard on TiO2 surface it enables electron movement and reactions on an interface where large numbers of organic substances are absorbed from the effluent. Semiconductor TiO2 absorbs photons and transferelectron from the valance band (vb) to the conduction band (cb). On the valence band, holes are generated which reacts with H2Oor OH- to produce hydroxyl radicals. TiO2 is N-type semiconductor material. Hole performs oxidation reactions and electron performs reduction reactions as shown in equations (1) to (9) on the surface along with complete oxidation of organics to produce CO2 and H2O.
Figure 2: Mechanism of photocatalysis [50]. Click here to view Figure |
When semiconductors such as TiO2 absorb light e- jumps from the vb to the cb. Nanoparticles have a large surface to volume ratio and also contain more atoms on their surface which substantially absorb photons. Nanoparticles can perform photocatalysis rapidly before e- and hole recombine17, 51 Parameters affecting photocatalysis are Organic load, catalyst concentration, reactor design (batch, continuous, immobilized/suspended catalyst etc.), adsorption and UV irradiation time (optimum), temperature, pH, light intensity and presence of ionic species 81.
Doping in Nano-Structured TiO2 for enhanced photocatalytic activity
Doping is one of the methods to improve optical properties, reduce bandgap and overcome e-/hole recombination as metals trap e- result in enhanced photocatalytic activity of semiconductor oxides. Doping will provide efficient and economical photocatalysis as it can replace UV photocatalysis with solar or visible irradiations.Loading of TiO2 surface with dopant will engineer the photocatalyst with improved trapping of charge carriers. Thus Doping increases organics degradation efficiency 52. Dopant will create oxygen defects and shifts light absorption from UV to the visible region by improving absorption bandwidth. The efficiency of photocatalysis may differ based on the position ofthe dopant on the TiO2 structure. Based on synthesis methods, the dopant can take a position on the surface or it can be included in lattice structure or as core and thus these positions may lead to different photocatalytic activity and degradation efficiency. Metals and non-metals both can work as dopants but major research concludes that metal dopants possess strong surface plasmon resonance (SPR), work efficiently under solar radiations during photocatalysis 53.
For efficient photocatalysis, the bandgap should be lower which promotes the transfer of e- and holes. This will also influence the redox potential of photogenerated electrons and the oxidation potential of holes 53.The handling of TiO2 powder form is difficult and the cost of UV radiation makes the treatment energy-intensive and uneconomical. These issues limit the commercialization of AOPs for industrial effluent treatment. These limitations can be overcome by surface modification of TiO2 with transition metal doping which reduces the bandgap and greater absorption of visible light is possible, also the dopant metals trape e- and prevent its recombination with holes, hence, the photocatalysis can be performed under solar radiation to make system economical for removal of refractory organics compared to incineration treatment. Various metal dopants are Chromium, manganese, cobalt, copper, iron Nickle, Zinc, cerium, Neodymium, Eurotium, Lanthanum, etc. and various non-mental dopants are Palladium chloride, carbon, nitrogen, and Flouride.
Recyclability of Photocatalyst
TiO2 doped with 33% Fe2O3core-shell photocatalyst has enhanced paracetamol removal by photocatalysis from water and the photocatalyst could be easily separated and reused for four recycle runs [28]. Ag decorated Fe3O4/TiO2 coated cenosphere prepared via Modified sol-gel and wet impregnation can be recycled for 8 cycles with a slight reduction in Methylene blue degradation efficiency 26. The novel engineered photocomposite core-shell structure Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2 showed greater photoactivity compared to commercial TiO2. The catalyst provided easy separability using a magnet and was recycled for 10 numbers of recycling runs without a decrease in efficiency [22]. When the Ag-Fe CT with Ti/Ag mole ratio 30 photocatalystswere reused for six numbers of runs, 63.25% COD was removed in 5 hr solar light irradiation, indicating more deactivation of the catalyst during photocatalysis; which represented that the Ag-Fe CT 30 could be recyclable effectively for 4 cycles. The reduction in % COD removal was only less than 5% after three runs of recycling for Ag-Fe CT 30. Ag-Fe CT 30 catalyst has proved its stability even after 4 recycle runs and it can perform photocatalysis under solar radiation effectively for the photocatalysis of drug intermediates 16. Dye degradation efficiency by Fe3+ doped TiO2has been found to decrease by 9% at the end of six recycle runs55. Ag-Fe CT and Fe2O3/SiO2 co-doped TiO2 and Ag-Fe CT supported on graphene oxide has shown good stability for 5 recycle runs[58].Table 4summarizes the literature review done for the recyclability of photocatalysts. The photocatalysts can be recovered after treatment and efficiently used for several runs without loss in efficiency of treatment or component degradation. The result showed a decrease in photocatalytic activity with an increase in the number of recycling runs as the poisoning of the catalyst increases due to surface blockage, less adsorption and low rate of oxidation reaction 7.

Ammonical nitrogen removal using photocatalysis
NH4-N removal is higher in alkaline pH during photocatalysis. At lower pH, the surface of photocatalyst has a positive charge whereas ammoniacal nitrogen compounds can be adsorbed only on the surface which has a negative charge [93].NH4-N removal is more when pH is greater than 10. Researchers have reported that it is not possible to oxidize NH4-N OH by radicals [94]. When pH is above 9, NH4-N can be converted into NH3 95. Hence acidic or neutral condition does not favor NH3 –N removal simultaneously with organics. Table 5summariesresearch done for ammonical nitrogen removal by photocatalysis.

Hybrid Advanced Oxidation processes
COD removal using three methods, combining electrochemical process with AOP, Fenton reagent and flotation HAOP technology has been proved effective in the treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater for COD removal [98]. An ultrasound when used in combination with photocatalysis, Fenton Reagent and the Photolysis process, proved efficient for non-biodegradable toxic organics removal. This combination of AOP will overcome problems of repelling photocatalyst and pollutants due to similar charges. A sonophotocatalysis has been found effective for the removal of variety of organics present in wastewater [99]. Hybrid AOPs with sonolysis, Fenton and photo– ferrioxalate system with sonolysis has been studied for degradation of two dyes: Acid Red B and Methylene Blue. Sonolysis alone has shown the lowest efficiency. Coupling of sonolysis with either Fenton or photo- ferrioxalate system has shown the greater ability of decolorization. Ternary coupling of all these three systems has shown a negative effect of dyes degradation due to the interaction of individual mechanisms 100.

This review described various advanced oxidation processes with their merits, demerits, benefits and challenges. Various dopants have been compared for their enhanced photoactivity. The mechanism TiO2 semiconductor doped with Ag and Fe has been discussed. The degradation of various chemical compounds using TiO2-based photocatalysts, including mechanisms and factors affecting the process have been summarized. Hybrid AOP with photocatalyst is proved aneffective method for treatment of wastewater. Addition of different oxidizing agent and materials such as H2O2, Fenton reagents and biochar have increased organics removal efficiency from wastewater. Electro Fenton and electrolysis, cavitation was used effectively for wastewater treatment. Advanced oxidation with O3 addition, adsorption by activated charcoalfor pharmaceutical wastewater treatment was also effective. This paper concludes that proper selection of Hybrid AOPcan provide efficient mineralization of organics present in wastewater at low cost. Recyclability studies showed that photocatalyst can be separated after treatment and reused up to several runs efficiently without much decline in treatment efficiency.
