The intensity of emerging pollutants such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the aquatic and terrestrial environment is a major source of concern to researchers. The current conventional methods of wastewater treatment plants are considered not efficient enough in the complete removal of the recalcitrant contaminants from water. The use of modified transition metals in visible responsive synthesis to degrade PPCPs and other pollutants (organic and inorganic) is considered as a developing green chemistry and sustainable technology. Hence, this review presents the state-of-the-art discussion on the novel photodegradation of PPCPs, and antibacterial activities of transition metal-modified magnetite materials for wastewater treatment, and suggested directions for the future. Transition metal-modified magnetite nanostructured photocatalysis is identified as one of the best candidates employed in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for wastewater treatment and has been found to efficiently destroy bacterial spores and effectively remove recalcitrant pollutants in water. Therefore, this article hopes to contribute scientific knowledge along with existing ones on advanced mechanisms and technology used in wastewater treatment.
新兴污染物（如药品和个人护理产品）在水和土壤环境中的强度是研究人员关注的主要问题。目前，废水处理厂的常规方法被认为在完全去除水中的顽固污染物方面效率不够高。利用改性过渡金属在可见光响应合成中降解 PPCPs 和其他污染物（有机和无机）被认为是一种新兴的绿色化学和可持续技术。因此，本文综述了 PPCPs 的新型光降解以及过渡金属改性磁铁矿材料在废水处理中的抗菌活性方面的最新研究进展，并提出了未来的研究方向。过渡金属改性磁铁矿纳米结构光催化被认为是废水处理高级氧化工艺（AOPs）中最有应用前景的候选材料之一，已被证明能够有效地破坏细菌孢子并有效去除水中的顽固污染物。因此，本文希望为废水处理中使用的高级机制和技术提供科学知识方面的补充。
