Photocatalytic degradation is a highly efficient technique for eliminating organic pollutants such as antibiotics, dyes, toluene, nitrobenzene, cyclohexane, and refinery oil from the environment. The effects of operating conditions, concentrations contaminants catalysts, their impact on rate deterioration are key focuses this review. This method utilizes light-activated semiconductor catalysts to generate reactive oxygen species that break down contaminants. Modified photocatalysts, metal oxides, doped composite materials, enhance effectiveness photocatalytic by improving light absorption charge separation. Furthermore, operational conditions pH, temperature, intensity also play crucial role in enhancing process. results indicated both high pollutant catalyst improve up threshold, beyond which no significant benefits observed. optimal were found significantly efficiency, with marked increase rates under ideal settings. Antibiotics dyes generally follow intricate pathways, resulting breakdown these substances into smaller, less detrimental compounds. On other hand, hydrocarbons toluene along may necessitate many stages achieve complete mineralization. Several factors affect efficiency characteristics photocatalyst, concentration, intensity, existence co-catalysts. approach offers sustainable alternative minimizing amount present environment, contributing cleaner air water. hence holds tremendous potential remediation
