Environmental remediation is a process of eliminating the toxic materials from living area of plants, animals and humans. The toxic materials contaminants air, water and land and made earth not habitable. The solutions for the environmental remediation should be renewable and sustainable in long term. The pressing issue is that water is heavily contaminated with industrials pollutants due to growing industrialization. Many technologies are being developed for the water remediation problem such as filtration, oxidation, reduction, catalysis and many more. Among that heterogenous photocatalysis found to be effective and it has potential of solving the water remediation problem which means the solution for water remediation should be commercialisable. Herein, we explain the importance of heterogenous catalysis in the environmental remediation and also explain the present status of state-of-art materials and current advanced materials for water remediation. For the viable commercialization, we predicted that material abundance being major challenge. The focus of the present work is to explore potential of photocatalytic materials for commercialization. We foresee and attempted to bring out the clear picture of the earth abundance crisis in the heterogenous catalytic based environmental remediation. The core concepts explained in this work could be extended to the other existing technologies. |
