Abstract
Pervious concrete is an exclusive type of concrete that permits high volume of water to pass through it and a photocatalyst is a
material that has capacities as an impetus (changes the rate of a synthetic response) when presented with light. This paper reviews
the scientific literature on the utilization of photocatalyst in pervious concrete for storm water purification. Environmentally
friendly photocatalytic pervious concrete is used as a pollutant reducer for storm water. This paper discusses about principal
tendencies of photocatalysts (like TiO
2
, ZnO, etc.) and their incorporation to the pollutant degradation process. It presents a
summary of the photo induced redox response and tremendous-hydrophilic conversion of the degradation of pollutants in storm
water. The study focuses the progress of photocatalytic pervious concretes, i.e., the synergy among photocatalytic materials in
pervious concrete for storm water pollution treatment.
