The presence of emerging contaminants such as pharmaceutical and personal care products in many aqueous matrices have been reported. One of such matrix is streams of wastewater, including wastewater treatment plants inflows and outflows and wastewater flow by-passing wastewater treatment plants. Their persistence arises from their resistant to breakdown, hence they may remain in the environment over long time, with a potential to cause adverse effects including endocrine disruption, gene toxicity, the imposition of sex organs, antibiotic resistance and many others in some aquatic organisms exposed to arrays of residues of pharmaceutical and personal care products. Among the treatment techniques, advanced oxidation processes have been reported to be a better technique through which these PPCPs can be degraded in the WWTPs. Heterogeneous photocatalysis using various photocatalyst immobilized on solid support such as activated carbon, graphene and carbon nanotubes in AOPs have been shown to be a viable and efficient method of PPCPs degradation. This is because, the performance of most WWTPs is limited since they were not designed to degrade toxic and recalcitrant PPCPs. This review highlight the occurrence, concentration of PPCPs in wastewater and the removal efficiency of heterogeneous photocatalysis of TiO2 immobilized on solid supports.

水和废水中的药物和个人护理产品：AOP降解中固定化功能化碳的处理工艺和光催化剂的使用综述

据报道，在许多水性基质中存在诸如制药和个人护理产品之类的新兴污染物。这种基质之一是废水流，包括废水处理厂的流入和流出以及绕过废水处理厂的废水流。它们的持久性源于其对分解的抵抗力，因此它们可能会长期留在环境中，并可能引起不良影响，包括内分泌破坏，基因毒性，性器官的施加，抗生素抗性以及某些暴露于水生生物中的许多其他方面药物和个人护理产品的残留物。在处理技术中，据报道，先进的氧化工艺是一种更好的技术，通过这些工艺可以在污水处理厂中降解这些PPCP。使用固定在固相支持物上的各种光催化剂（例如活性炭，石墨烯和碳纳米管）固定在AOP中的非均相光催化是降解PPCPs的可行方法。这是因为，大多数污水处理厂的性能有限，因为它们并非旨在降解有毒和难降解的PPCP。这篇综述着重介绍了废水中PPCP的出现，浓度以及固定化在固体载体上的TiO2的非均相光催化去除效率。
