A recent review article published in the journal Energies comprehensively explored how solar concentrators can enhance the efficiency of photocatalytic wastewater treatment. The researchers examined the fundamentals of solar concentration and its ability to significantly improve photocatalytic processes.

Background

Water pollution has increased due to industrialization and urbanization, with agricultural runoff, untreated sewage, and toxic industrial discharges being major contributors. Conventional wastewater treatment methods can create secondary pollution or require high energy, making them costly. In this context, photocatalysis has emerged as a sustainable and eco-friendly solution, utilizing solar energy to degrade and remove various types of organic and inorganic pollutants in the water.
