Abstract

In recent decades, ultraviolet-assisted advanced oxidation processes (UV-AOPs) have been successfully applied to remove a wide range of contaminants from polluted water. Despite this, their extended use on an industrial scale is still far from being a reality, largely limited by the operational costs that these processes still entail. In recent years, many researchers have been working to increase UV-AOP efficiency and reduce capital and operating costs. This work aims to review different strategies devoted to the intensification of UV-AOPs. Firstly, the optimization of operational parameters, such as catalyst loading, pH, temperature, or oxidant concentration, has been reviewed as a strategy to augment the efficiency of the photocatalytic processes and reduce reagent consumption and/or treatment time. The review also discusses the development of photocatalytic materials to intensify the UV-AOPs process, and finally, the combination or integration of different UV-AOPs for the treatment of pollutants is also examined.

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Catalysts due to its progression and the good impact it has achieved in recent years, according to the agency WoS (JCR), it has become a reference in its field. In the year of publication of the work, 2023, it was in position 74/178, thus managing to position itself as a Q2 (Segundo Cuartil), in the category Chemistry, Physical. Notably, the journal is positioned en el Cuartil Q2 para la agencia Scopus (SJR) en la categoría Physical and Theoretical Chemistry.

From a relative perspective, and based on the normalized impact indicator calculated from World Citations provided by WoS (ESI, Clarivate), it yields a value for the citation normalization relative to the expected citation rate of: 3.71. This indicates that, compared to works in the same discipline and in the same year of publication, it ranks as a work cited above average. (source consulted: ESI Nov 13, 2025)

This information is reinforced by other indicators of the same type, which, although dynamic over time and dependent on the set of average global citations at the time of their calculation, consistently position the work at some point among the top 50% most cited in its field:

  • Weighted Average of Normalized Impact by the Scopus agency: 3.64 (source consulted: FECYT Mar 2025)
