The present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of developing low-cost N- and Fe-doped TiO photocatalysts for investigating the mineralization of 2,4-dimethylaniline (2,4-DMA). With a single anatase phase, the photocatalysts showed high thermal stability with mass losses of less than 2%. The predominant oxidative state is Ti, but there is presence of Ti associated with oxygen vacancies.

In order to provide a correct assessment of the role of the different oxidants and catalysts involved, bentazon was comparatively treated by anodic oxidation with electrogenerated HO (AO-HO), electro-Fenton (EF) and UVA-assisted EF (i.e.
