With the widespread use of antibiotics,the problem of water pollution caused by antibiotics is becoming increasingly serious.Currently,technologies for removing antibiotic pollutants from water include physical adsorption,flocculation,and chemical oxidation.However,these processes often leave a large amount of chemical reagents and difficult-to-dispose sediment in water,making post-treatment more difficult.Photocatalytic technology uses photocatalytic materials to decompose antibiotics under light,ultimately forming non-toxic CO2 and H2O.Photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics has the advantages of low cost,high efficiency and free secondary pollution.In this paper,the research progress of several commonly used photocatalytic materials for degrading antibiotics is reviewed,and their future researches and applications are also prospected.
