The photocatalytic degradation of azo dyes containing different functionalities has been
reviewed using TiO2 as photocatalyst in aqueous solution under solar and UV irradiation …

This brief review aims at analyzing the use of dyestuffs for evaluating the photocatalytic
properties of novel photocatalysts. It is shown that the use of dyes as predictors for …

In this paper, visible light assisted degradation of various pollutants using different methods
has been briefly reviewed. These methods have been broadly divided into two main …

This review focuses on the heterogeneous photocatalytic treatment of organic dyes in air
and water. Representative studies spanning approximately three decades are included in …

TiO2 nanoparticles when subjected to UV irradiation exhibit blue coloration as electrons are
stored within the particles. Upon contact with gold nanoparticles, a partial disappearance of …

Seven azo dyes were photocatalytically degraded in TiO2 suspension. Their degradation
rates were compared with disappearance and TOC elimination rates. It was demonstrated …

The textile industry consumes considerable amounts of water during the dyeing and
finishing operations. Dyes are extensively used and hence wastewaters discharged in rivers …

The TiO2 photoassisted degradation of the cationic dye rhodamine B (RhB) has been
examined in aqueous dispersions under visible light irradiation at wavelengths longer than …
