Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel catalyst and a process for a photo-catalytic degradation of ether-based contaminants such as methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) in water using a visible light source. The catalyst composition demonstrated complete degradation of MTBE at a room temperature in a photo-catalytic reaction conducted using a visible light source.
