During the last few years, there has been a plethora of research and development in the area of solar photocatalysis (TiO2 and photo-Fenton). This overview, of the most recent papers on the use of sunlight to produce the O∙H, comments on those most relevant to the development of the technology and summarizes most of the recent research related to the degradation of water contaminants, and how solar photocatalysis (coupled with biotreatment) could significantly contribute to the treatment of very persistent toxic compounds. Various solar reactors for photocatalytic water treatment based mainly on nonconcentrating collectors developed during the last few years are also described in detail. This review also reports the use of the photocatalytic processes (TiO2) to inactivate microorganisms present in water, placing special emphasis on those applications that make use of sunlight. Work on water disinfection mechanisms in the last decade is summarized in the last part of this overview, with attention to some experimental systems developed to optimize this disinfection technology.

Esta comunicación ofrece una visión general de las investigaciones sobre los procedimientos de desinfección de agua basados en el empleo de oxígeno singlete, especie con acción bactericida que puede generarse de forma catalítica mediante fotosensibilización. La presentación comienza con una revisión de los tratamientos existentes actualmente para la desinfección del agua, destacando las ventajas y los inconvenientes o limitaciones que caracterizan a algunos de ellos. Se introducen, a continuación, las propiedades del oxígeno singlete y su reactividad hacia las moléculas que componen los sistemas biológicos, ya que en ella radica la acción germicida de esta especie reactiva de oxígeno. Una vez descrito el procedimiento de generación de oxígeno singlete mediante fotosensibilización, se muestran diversas estructuras de moléculas empleadas frecuentemente como fotosensibilizadores de oxígeno singlete. Finalmente, tras comentar algunos aspectos de las investigaciones publicadas por diversos autores sobre el empleo de oxígeno singlete como agente desinfectante, se presentan los estudios actualmente llevamos a cabo en nuestro grupo de investigación del Laboratorio de Fotoquímica Aplicada (Universidad Complutense de Madrid, España). La investigación que realizamos dentro del proyecto SOLWATER, financiado por la Unión Europea, persigue como objetivo general el desarrollo de nuevos métodos de desinfección de agua que, aprovechando la luz solar para generar la especie germicida mediante fotosensibilización, resulten económicos, seguros y respetuosos con el medio ambiente. Palabras clave.-Desinfección de aguas, Oxigeno singlete. ABSTRACTThis paper provides an overview of research on water disinfection procedures based on the use of singlet oxygen, bactericidal species that can be generated catalytically by photosensitization. The presentation begins with a review of currently available treatments for water disinfection, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages or limitations that characterize some of them. Are introduced, then the properties of singlet oxygen and its reactivity to the molecules that comprise biological systems because it lies in the germicidal action of this reactive oxygen species. Having described the process of generation of singlet oxygen by photosensitization, showing various structures of molecules commonly used as singlet oxygen photosensitizers. Finally, after discussing some aspects of the research published by various authors on the use of singlet oxygen as a disinfectant, is currently present studies we conducted in our research group of the Laboratory of Applied Photochemistry (Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain). The research into SOLWATER project, funded by the European Union, the general had with objective of developing new methods of disinfecting water, using sunlight to generate the kind germicide by photosensitization, resulting economic, safe and friendly environment. Keywords.- Waste disinfection, Singlet oxygen.
