Researchers are interested in photocatalytic decolorization of dyes using advance oxidation process(AOP) because it provides an appealing way for decolorization of dyes and breaks them down into simple mineral form. The photocatalytic efficiency of Bi2S3was investigated in terms of Reactive Red 152 dye degradation. A thorough analysis of the photodegradation of Reactive Red 152 (RR152) utilizing Bi2S3has been conducted. The results show that dye degradation is affected by dye concentration (RR 152), photocatalyst concentration (Bi2S3), and pH of the experimental solutions. The ideal parameters for dye photobleaching had been determined. The kinetics of dye degradation in dilute aqueous solutions follow first order kinetics. The results showed that the dye was effectively treated with the Bi2S3 reagent.
