The widespread occurrence of antibiotics in wastewater aroused serious attention. UV-based advanced oxidation processes (UV-AOPs) are powerful technologies in removing antibiotics in wastewater, which include UV/catalyst, UV/H2O2, UV/Fenton, UV/persulfate, UV/chlorine, UV/ozone, and UV/peracetic acid. In this review, we collated recent advances in application of UV-AOPs for the abatement of fluoroquinolones (FQs) as widely used class of antibiotics. Representative FQs of ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, and enrofloxacin were most extensively studied in the state-of-art studies. The evolvement of gas-state and solid-state UV light sources was presented and batch and continuous flow UV reactors were compared towards practical applications in UV-AOPs. Generally, degradation of FQs followed the pseudo-first order kinetics in UV-AOPs and strongly affected by the operating factors and components of water matrix. Participation of reactive species and transformation mechanisms of FQs were compared among different UV-AOPs. Challenges and future prospects were pointed out for providing insights into the practical application of UV-AOPs for antibiotic remediation in wastewater.
