Abstract: With the widespread use of antibiotics, the pollution problem of antibiotic wastewater is becoming more and more serious, and it is difficult for traditional water treatment methods to completely remove antibiotics and their metabolites in water. ZnO Because of its excellent photocatalytic performance, nano-photocatalytic technology has become an effective way to solve the antibiotic wastewater treatment. This paper summarizes the application progress of ZnO nanophotocatalysts in antibiotic wastewater treatment, and analyzes the basic properties of ZnO nanostructures and their photocatalytic degradation mechanisms. We mainly explored the effect of ZnO photocatalytic degradation of antibiotic wastewater, compared the treatment effect of different antibiotic wastewater, and evaluated the key factors affecting the photocatalytic performance of ZnO, such as light intensity, pH value, etc. The stability and regeneration properties of ZnO photocatalysts are further discussed, and the long-term properties and regeneration ability of the catalysts are improved through material optimization and surface modification are proposed. The challenges and future directions of ZnO nano-photocatalytic technology in antibiotic wastewater treatment are summarized.
