Which mechanism causes photocatalytic degradation of pollutants in wastewater treatment?

💡 Explanation

Photocatalytic degradation occurs because electron-hole pair generation in semiconductor photocatalysts leads to redox reactions; dissolved pollutants are oxidized, breaking them down. Therefore, photo-degradation proceeds, rather than simple physical sequestration due electrostatic effects.
