β¦ Synopsis
Heterogeneous photocatalysis
is capable of destroying many organic micropollutants in aqueous medium. The principle of the method and a brief survey of the relevant literature are presented. On the basis of studies on the degradation of various substituted aromatics in UV-irradiated TiO2 aqueous suspensions carried out principally in our laboratory, we indicate the kinetic characteristics of the method, the nature of the intermediates and the degradation pathways, as well as the influence of pH or common ions and other parameters.
The photocatalytic recovery of noble metals and the detoxification of water containing certain inorganic ions are also described. The advantages and disadvantages of the photocatalytic method, which begins to be commercialized, are briefly discussed.

Analytical models have been used in water resource management for a number of years, but these models have a number of disadvantages. Simulations have many advantages over analytical models, but were historically time-consuming to develop. However, recent advances in computer hardware and software h
