Nowadays, environmental pollution is constantly increasing, and depollution is the most important challenge of the 21st century. This paper is a review of organic pollutants in wastewater that can be removed by the photocatalysis process. Also are presented specialized studies that demonstrate the removal of organic pollutants from wastewater and the experimental conditions necessary to obtain high treatment efficiencies. The important classes of pollutants in wastewater are hydrocarbons, halo compounds, carbonyl derivatives, alcohols, phenols, pesticides, surfactants, nitrogen containing compounds and dyes, and represent a major source of water pollution. These organic pollutants are photodegradable and can be easily removed by the photocatalysis process.
