Photocatalytic degradation process of waste water using titanium dioxide as catalyst

Photocatalytic degradation is a process where the organic contaminant in water is degraded by UV light. UV photo oxidation acts to degrade and remove organic compound through the ultraviolet radiation to activate the catalyst. The catalyst used in this study is titanium dioxide (TiO2) which is chose...
