Research progress and application exploration of techniques to remove emerging contaminants from water environment

Emerging contaminants in water have attracted more and more attention from scholars and the public. Various technologies have been gradually studied and applied to remove emerging contaminants in water, including adsorption technology based on carbon materials, membrane separation technology, advanced oxidation technology and constructed wetland. In this paper, the research progress of these technologies is reviewed, especially for photocatalysis, a promising technology, which is analyzed in detail. Immobilization is an important means for photocatalytic technology to be applied in engineering. In this paper, four existing immobilization methods of photocatalytic materials are analyzed, and the existing research is prospected. More in-depth research is urgently needed, and exploratory research aimed at application is encouraged. This study can provide some ideas and reference for the treatment of emerging contaminants in water
