Abstract
The present work deals with the photocatalytic degradation as a method for pre-treatment of the effluent from a textile industry containing various dyes and their intermediates which are non-biodegradable. The textile effluent was subjected to photocatalytic degradation under UV irradiation in the presence of TiO 2 as catalyst and the process parameters for maximum degradation were determined. Optimisation of catalyst dose and pH was carried out and the effect of addition of oxidant H 2 O 2 on the degradation efficiency was also studied. The effectiveness with which the photocatalyst can be recycled was also assessed to ensure the economic viability of the process.
