Introduction
The release of the synthetic dyes in textile industries in the
environment, is considered to be a major environmental
issue that needs to be addressed properly
Employing Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) using
UV-TiO2 provides a promising treatment of these
commercial wastewaters
The target users of these technologies would be the
company involved in the textile industries
to meet standards of DENR,
prevent water pollution and degradation of aquatic life
foster environmental responsibility within the industry ensuring
sustainable development

AC/TiO2 with high AC loading [3:10 AC/TiO2] showed a dark color while
AC/TiO2 with low AC loading [1:1600 AC/TiO2] is whitish in color

The kinetic data fits the Langmuir Hinshelwood model with R2 = 0.9759
The kinetic parameters are kr = 0.096191 mg L-1 min-1 and K =0.128966 L mg-1

Conclusions
The TiO2 synthesized by sol-gel at 400degC is nano-sized.
The addition of AC to TiO2 has no significant effect on the
band gap energy of the composite catalyst.
Conclusions
Using optimum conditions under UV light, 90.0 % color
removal was observed for TBD while 86.4 % color
removal for textile wastewater with TBD stream. 38.5 %
color removal for TBD was observed under visible light.
