The industrial waste water containing the various dyes is responsible for water pollution, due to their carcinogenic behaviour. Lots of investigations reported that 10-12% of dyes are used every year in textile industries such as Rose Bengal, Victoria blue, Thymol blue, Caramine, Indigo Red, Red 120, Rhodamine B, Methylene Blue, Eriochrome Black-T (EBT) [1-4] of which are major portion (20%) lost during synthesis and processing operations, which enter into water through effluents. The wastewater released from industries contains highly hazardous and coloured pigments which causes serious ill effect on aquatic life and also human beings [5-8].

- An overview of photocatalytic degradation: photocatalysts, mechanisms, and development of photocatalytic membrane (2019, background): “Excessive light intensity would result in the recombination of electron-hole pair due to the increment of temperature from the light and eventually affected the photocatalytic activity (Kumar and Pandey 2017).”
