“…The potential of catalyst recyclability is one of the major benefits of photocatalytic degradation. When subjected to light and an oxidizing agent, photocatalytic degradation is the process of breaking down organic contaminants in wastewater using catalysts, usually semiconductors such as TiO2 [22], ZnO [23], CdS, Co3O4, or WO3. By absorbing photons, these catalysts create electronhole pairs, which when combined with oxygen and water, produce extremely reactive species like hydroxyl radicals.…”

Photocatalysis, an innovative technology, holds promise for addressing industrial pollution issues across aqueous solutions, surfaces, and gaseous effluents. The efficiency of photodegradation is notably influenced by light intensity and duration, underscoring the importance of optimizing these parameters. Furthermore, temperature and pH have a significant impact on pollutant speciation, surface chemistry, and reaction kinetics, therefore process optimization must consider these factors. Photocatalytic degradation is an effective method for treating water in environmental remediation, providing a flexible and eco-friendly way to eliminate organic contaminants from wastewater. Selectivity in photocatalytic degradation is achieved by a multidisciplinary approach that includes reaction optimization, catalyst design, and a profound awareness of chemical processes. To create efficient and environmentally responsible methods for pollution removal and environmental remediation, researchers are working to improve these components.
