Abstract
Wastewater treatment has garnered significant attention, particularly due to the growing focus on environmental preservation. Treating wastewater effluents to mitigate environmental contamination and sustain a clean ecosystem for all living organisms is essential. Various techniques have successfully removed industrial waste, with photocatalysis emerging as a promising approach for the degradation of a diverse class of organic contaminants. Metal-free photocatalysts (MFPs) such as graphene oxide, reduced graphene and carbon nitride, and covalent organic framework are gaining popularity among scientists globally due to their low cost, high stability, and good thermal conductivity. However, traditional powdered photocatalysts present several drawbacks, such as limited capacity for light collection, inadequate surface area, poor surface oxygenation, and challenges in separation from treated water. This review discusses the fabrication processes of hybrid floatable MFP composites based on their substrates and critically evaluates their performance in degrading organic dyes and antibiotics and their application in water disinfection through specific case studies. In addition, this work highlights the potential of coupling floatable MFPs as an active component with other technologies such as ultrasonic vibration and piezoelectric effect for water remediation. Finally, this review outlines future research directions and addresses current challenges in the field.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
