Water pollution is the one of the major problem. It is a big problem faced by everyone all over the world. In solving the problem of water pollution, important role is played by photocatalysis process. In the present study, barium chromate powder has been used as a photocatalytst for degradation of Methyl violet 10B dye. The rate of decomposition was optimum with different parameters like pH (9.0), concentration of dye (4.0× 10−4 M), amount of photocatalyst (0.14 g) and intensity of light (40.0 mWcm−2). The rate constant obtained was k = 3.63 x 10-4 sec-1. The reaction proceeds through oxidation by hydroxyl radical as confirmed by radical scavenger, 2-propanol.
