Description Simultaneous photocatalytic degradation of non-emissive dye, acid blue1 (AB1) and emissive dyes (eosinY or thionine) in air-equilibrated aqueous suspension of TiO2 semiconductor photocatalyst has been achieved at ambient conditions. Under visible light irradiation AB1 undergoes
appreciable degradation in presence of a sensitizing dye (eosinY or thionine). However, concomitant decoloration of eosinY (EY) or thionine (Th)due to self-sensitized degradation was also noticed. Mechanistic proposals for the photocatalytic degradation of AB1 using a 150WXe lamp with
a UV-filter (λ > 420 nm) as well as without a UV-filter, are discussed. Formation of reactive •O2−/•HO2 radicals is proposed to be responsible for the degradation of the selected dyes, AB1, EY and Th.
