Abstract
Microwave-induced oxidation and UV/TiO2 photocatalytic technologies are widely used for organic wastewater treatment. Furthermore, the combination of these technologies (MW/UV/TiO2) result in a new advanced oxidation process. As a green and efficient photocatalytic degradation technology, MW/UV/TiO2 is favored for its advantages of high removal rate, short time use, wide concentration range, low cost, good stability, and no secondary pollution. Herein, this paper has summarized insights into the removal process by unveiling the degradation mechanism of organic compounds with MW-assisted technology. Additionally, water quality factors and process parameters affect the photocatalytic efficiencies, consisting of initial concentration, initial volume, TiO2 dosage, UV intensity, microwave power, temperature, pH, and fluid velocity, which have been systematically analyzed. Finally, possible future research directions and guidelines are proposed. Our findings will provide a way forward for the development of effective microwave-assisted remediation technologies that are broadly applicable to various environmental contamination scenarios.
