Heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation of nile blue dye in aqueous BiOCl suspensions

- Photocatalytic degradation of NB dye was carried out by using synthesized BiOCl.
- Hydrolysis method was presented.
- Formation of
- OH verified by fluorescence technology.
- BiOCl possessed highly adsorption capacity for organic dye.
- The intermediates and the final products of degradation were detected.
- Mineralization of NB confirmed by TOC and nitrate anions production.
