Abstract
This review summarizes the progress over the last fifteen years in visible light reactive photocatalysts for environmental arsenic remediation. The design and performance of several materials including (1) doped and surface functionalized TiO2, (2) binary composites combining TiO2 with another semiconductor that absorbs visible light radiation or a metal (Pt), (3) ternary composites incorporating TiO2, a conductive polymer that can retard electron-hole recombination and an excellent adsorbent material for the removal of As(V), (4) tungsten, zinc, and bismuth oxides, (5) g-C3N4 based catalysts, and (6) M@AgCl core–shell structures. These results show that long reaction time remains a major challenge in achieving high As(III) oxidation.
