Abstract

A major public health concern in many developing countries, including Nigeria, is the quality of their water supply. Everything a live entity does depends on water, a fundamental component of the biosphere. To ensure that water is safe for industrial and home use, it must be treated before consumption. However, phenolic compounds are found in our water bodies due to the polluted wastewater from industrial, agricultural, and home activities. Nature also has a role in their occurrence. These substances are poisonous and can cause long-term harm to both humans and animals. This paper reviewed research on the photodegradation of phenol utilizing nanoparticles in water treatment. This provides additional information and facts on cost-effective methods of treating wastewater and mineralizing phenol into valuable chemicals.
