Pollution of water is harmful to living organisms, soil fertility and aquatic organisms. The discharge from dye and textile industries is highly hazardous to living organisms. The various methods have been developed to remove or reduce the dyes contaminants. The photo catalytic degradation is one of the simple and highly efficient methods to degrade the organic pollutant into harmless species like water and CO2.To enhance the photo catalytic activity the metal oxide nanoparticles being used instead of its bulk material. In this review article we focus on the photocatalytic degradation of various dyes utilizing metal oxide nanoparticles as photocatalysts. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
