ABSTRACT
Progress in industrialization is causing major environmental issues which are not only related to the remediation of hazardous waste, contaminated groundwater but also for the control of toxic air contaminants. Industrial water pollution is considered to be mainly due to textile dying and treatment processes. Photocatalysis is one of the effective approaches to clean water from industrial contaminants. Among various photocatalysts, TiO2-based nanohybrids have got great attention owing to their promising arrangement of electronic structure, light absorption properties, and charge transport characteristics. Generally, the photocatalytic activity of any photocatalyst is affected by the degree of light absorption, charge separation, and surface reactivity. This chapter review explores the state of art TiO2-based nanohybrids as photocatalysts for degradation and the removal of contamination such as dyes from industrial waste water.
