Ozone is a clean and strong oxidant, which has been widely used in the degrading of organic pollutants. However, the ozone oxidation process alone is not ideal for the treatment of difficult?to?degrade organic pollutants in water. Therefore, ozone catalytic oxidation technology came into being, and the selection of catalyst is the key factor to determine its degradation effect. Based on the various types of catalysts, the mechanism of metal oxides, carbon?based materials and supported composite catalysts for the catalytic oxidation treatment of water pollutants by ozone was reviewed. The existing problems and the main problems that need to be solved at present were analyzed to provide theoretical basis and reference for the research and development of suitable catalysts.
