Abstract:

The combination of photovoltaic system and electrochemical technology can not only improve the treatment efficiency, reduce energy consumption and operating costs, but also help promote the application of clean energy in environmental protection and water resources management, and has a good application prospect for achieving sustainable and efficient sewage treatment. The application of photovoltaic conversion of solar energy in wastewater treatment is described, and the research progress of photovoltaic conversion in electrooxidation system, reverse osmosis process, electrocoagulation process, aeration equipment, electroflocculation technology and fenton technology is reviewed. The future research direction of solar energy application in wastewater treatment is also proposed.

Key words: Solar energy, Photoelectric conversion, Sewage treatment, Electrochemistry
