Abstract
Photocatalytic disinfection was studied by many researchers globally due to its capability of degrading microorganisms in wastewater. Many studies were reported on photocatalytic disinfection but still there was a gap on disinfection mechanisms and models. Nano-photocatalysts were effectively used in treatment process than conventional methods. The utilization of nano-photocatalysts was a phenomenal choice for wastewater treatment since wastewater can be reused; this in turn decreases the water necessity.
