Abstract: The textile industry requires a huge quantity of fresh water for different processes carried out in an industry which leads to generating a large quantity of wastewater. This wastewater contains dyes, chemicals, and other things. This wastewater needed to treat properly before being discharged into the environment or may cause harmful effects on the Environment directly or indirectly. Though we have some Physiochemcial, and biological processes to treat wastewater we need to find other alternatives. Various Researcher work has been carried out on removing the color of dyestuffs using the Photocatalysis process. Many photocatalysts have been used in treating textile wastewater in which titanium dioxide shows promising results titanium dioxide was used with another photocatalyst to treat. Some research work shows that titanium dioxide shows in reducing other parameters such as COD, BOD, and other parameters. The purpose of this research work Titanium dioxide helps reduce COD parameters and find the optimum dose and optimum time for Textile wastewater using Titanium dioxide as a photocatalyst alone under an artificially provided Ultraviolet ray?s tube.
