Treatment of textile wastewater using titanium dioxide (TiO₂) photocatalysis has been started from the last decade and reached attention to the researchers because of its versatile application. The variety of applications of TiO₂ as a photocatalyst has been taken place because of low operating temperature, biologically inert nature, low energy consumption, water insolubility, ease availability and photoactivity, less toxicity, high chemical stability, suitable flat band potential, narrow band gap and environmentally benign. The successful and efficient application of photocatalysis depends on quality of photocatalyst, nature of pollutants, and source of light, which should be in close contact with each other. The TiO₂ photocatalyst is used for the effluent treatment of textile wastewater in the presence of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Heterogeneous UV-TiO₂ photocatalysis is capable to remove organic pollutants from textile …
