Summary/Abstract: This paper outlines the recent studies on the application of photocatalysis using semiconductors, with modifiedtitanium dioxide (TiO2) in the process of reducing chemical contamination of surface and ground waters. During the last forty years, an increasing interest in catalysts of this type is noticeable. Hence, a wide range of methods of TiO2 modifications have been proposed so far by using its various polymorphs, composites with metals andnon-metals and polymer-coatings or impregnating it with dyes that effectively absorb sunlight.
