 INTRODUCTION

 Environmental pollution is a serious threat for entire globe because of
rapid industrialization.
 WHO estimated that quarter of the diseases facing mankind today occur
due to environmental pollutions.
 water pollution is one of the main global challenge.

02/23/2023
 varieties of pollutant are responsible for water pollution some
5 of these pollutant that are commonly known for their negative
effect on water quality are a peculiar class of compound known
as emerging organic pollutant.
 most detected organic pollutant in waste water are
phenolic dyes which are commonly used in varieties of
industries and in chemical laboratory as indicators.
 phenolic dyes (bromo cresol and bromo phenol) cause various
problems in living beings like respitatory problems, pro creative
harming , skin and eyes irritation.
There is a dire need to removes these polutantas from our
environment .

 Different techniques use for the removal of organic pollutants;
6
 adsorption
 Ozonation
 Membrane filteration
 Chemical precipation
 Coagulation
 Photocatalytic degradation
photo catalytic degradation is low cast and eco friendly methode.
 In current research work Bi2WO6 nano particles and its composite with PANI were fabricated
in order to enhance to its photocatalytic activity.

 In the photocatalytic mechanism solar light falls on the photocatalyst,

so electrons are excited, from the
valence band (VB) to the conduction band (CB) of the photocatalyst and
holes remain in the VB.
 Further the separated charge carriers’ electrons and holes react with
oxygen and water forming hydroxyl radicals. These photogenerated
radicals are highly reactive so they attack the pollutants and degrade them
into non-harmful products such as CO2 and H2O .

8 Aims and Objective
 To synthesized Bi2WO6 nanoparticles and it’s nanocomposites with PANI.

 To study the Impact of PANI in enhancing photocatalytic activity of Bi2WO6.

 To apply the synthesized nanocomposite for degradation of phenolic compounds.

23 Conclusion
The Bi2WO6/PANI composites, compared to Bi2WO6, exhibited
higher efficiency and stability for the degradation of phenolic
compounds.

C omposites Bi2WO6/PANI (5%) showed highest photocatalytic

activity for degradation Of ( BCG,BP) which was greater than 80%.
