Developing sustainable TiO2-based photocatalysts for environmental remediation is an increasingly significant area of research. However, a limited understanding the long-term ecological impact these poses barrier to their practical and industrial-scale applications. To address this challenge, work employed green synthesis approach prepare Ag/TiO2 photocatalyst designed improve compatibility enhance efficiency in pollutant degradation. was synthesized using mushroom biomass as natural capping evaluate its effectiveness degradation ciprofloxacin (CIP) azo Carmine G dye (ACGD). The served renewable cost-effective support Ag incorporation, while modification TiO2 could photocatalyst’s performance. Structural, chemical, morphological characterization techniques were applied showed that particles consisted irregularly shaped nanoparticles. CIP removal reached 82.46% after 300 min ACGD went up 83.64%. enhanced performance attributed unique electronic structural properties Ag-modified TiO2. This study highlights potential via methods high-performance effective pharmaceutical pollutants wastewater treatment
