Varieties and quantity of antibiotic residues in water are increasing,and the pollution components are becoming more and more complex.Traditional microbial water treatment techniques cannot effectively remove these drug residues.Photocatalytic oxidation technology has the advantages of strong oxidation ability,no secondary pollution,mild reaction conditions,fast decomposition rate and wide availability to degradable substances,so it is widely used in antibiotic degradation.Upon the classification of metal photocatalysts,non-metal photocatalysts and MOFs photocatalysts,this paper reviews the research progress on photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics,summarizes the structural characteristics and properties of various photocatalysts,and prospects the future development in the field of photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics.
