Abstract
Heterogeneous photocatalysis has demonstrated the complete wet oxidation (mineralization) of a number of common contaminants of water supplies, especially halogenated alkanes, alkenes, and aromatics. We review these recent results, including influence of reactant concentration, product inhibition, intermediate formation and disappearance, synthetic vs. solar illumination, and kinetic rate forms, and discuss prospects and problems for future essays.
