of persistent organic compounds in industrial effluents and their efficient
removal technique has emerged as a crucial problem to waste water treatment
plants. This review aims to focus on the plight associated with the effluents
from textile industry, agricultural and pharmaceutical effluents. The
occurrence of dyes, pesticides and endocrine disrupting chemicals in aquatic
ecosystems may cause chronic diseases, affect the human endocrine system and
have appeared as crucial factor to consider for drinking and non-potable end
uses of water. Extensive researches have been attempted to screen effective and
safe method of contaminants removal by modifying conventional treatments as
well as advanced processes by renowned authors. This paper aims to review
different possible routes of effluent treatment emphasizing on complete
mineralization of the targeted contaminants. With this purpose, a comprehensive
review has been presented to deliver essential information about dealing with
photocatalytic mineralization of pollutants.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span>
