Abstract

Photoirradiation has been introduced into the homogeneous and heterogeneous Fenton system, improving the reaction activity through accelerating the reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+. Carriers including clay, porous, and graphene materials are widely used for the loading and fixing of iron-based nanoparticles. Leaching and loss of iron species can be prevented. The combination of iron oxide and semiconductor photocatalyst has been proven efficient for enhancing the reaction efficiency via utilizing the photocatalytically induced electron. Other photo-Fenton agents including zerovalent iron and noble metal are also introduced in this chapter.
