Photocatalysis, an ecofriendly and efficient approach, holds significant promise for the degradation of persistent organic pollutants[2]. This study focuses on the development and characterization of novel photocatalytic materials, including basic bismuth nitrate (BBN)[3], ilmenite (FeTiO3)[4], and bismuth-decorated titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles. The primary goal is to synthesize these semiconductor materials using grind-assisted and hydrothermal methods, optimize their structural properties, and test their photocatalytic efficiency in degrading pharmaceutical pollutants[5]. The research also includes the design of a photocatalytic reactor with multiple light sources and temperature control to ensure reliable performance testing under various conditions[2], [6]. The outcomes of this work will contribute to bridging gaps in the literature, offering insights into the synthesis of effective photocatalysts and their application in wastewater treatment.
