| description | Textile industry being one of the most flourishing industries keeps growing and developing every year, and the consequences are not very pleasant. Even though its contribution towards economy of a country is indisputable, there are many pros and cons associated with it that should not be brushed aside, one of them being textile dye waste which is also growing at alarming rate. Many techniques have been designed to deal with this environmental crisis including adsorption and photodegradation of dye waste by various substances, both natural and synthetic. TiO2 and clay both have gained immense popularity in this area. Over the last decade, many successful attempts have been made to design TiO2-clay-based composites to combine and make the most of their individual capabilities to degrade textile dye waste. While clay is an effective adsorbent, inexpensive, innocuous, and a great ion exchanger, TiO2 provides supplementary active sites and free radicals and speeds up the degradation rate of dyes. This review summarizes various features of TiO2-clay-based composites including their surface characteristics, their role as dye adsorbents and photocatalysts, challenges in their implementation, and modifications to overcome these challenges made over the last decade. |
