ABSTRACT
Azo dyes are widely used in textile manufacturing for their vibrant colors and ease of application. However, their incomplete removal during textile processing results in significant quantities being discharged into wastewater streams, leading to water pollution and ecological damage. Azo dyes are extensively used in the textile industry but pose significant environmental and health risks due to their persistence and potential toxicity. Photocatalytic degradation emerges as a promising approach to treat textile wastewater and mitigate the environmental impact of azo dyes.
The paper focuses review of photocatalytic degradation of azo dyes present in textile waste with the aim of achieving sustainable water usage. It presents a comprehensive analysis of existing research in this field.
Keywords: Azo dyes, textile waste, photocatalytic degradation, sustainable purification techniques.
