Photocatalysis of dyes: Operational parameters, mechanisms, and degradation pathway

• Effect of various parameters during the photocatalysis process. • Mechanism of photocatalysis involvement of oxidising and reducing agents. • Analytical techniques for determining intermediates of MB and RhB. • Photocatalysis steps: Demethylation, ring shortening, ring-opening, and mineralisation. • Postulated degradation pathway of MB and RhB. Photocatalysis is an advanced oxidation process (AOP) that has significant attention to the degradation of organic pollutants. Although most literature on photocatalysis mainly focuses on the basic photocatalytic mechanisms, photocatalyst designs, and operational parameters, this research aims to delve deeply into the various process parameters and mechanisms under…
