Photocatalysis process has emerged as a prompt method for wastewater treatment and microbial disinfection. The development of visible light active (VLA) photocatalysts, especially Blue LED active (BLA) is a challenge task for the current research scenario towards pollutants degradation and real wastewater treatment. Here, we have developed a material which is highly active under Blue LED. BiOX (X = I or Cl) modified Na-K2Ti6O13 with two concentrations of BiOX was fabricated and effectively utilized for Acid Black 1 (AB 1) dye and tetracycline (TCN) degradations under Blue LED. The TCN degradation was also performed under white LED and direct solar light for comparison, and found that Na-K2Ti6O13/BiOX composite was very efficient in Blue LED and white LED than direct solar irradiation. The higher activity of Na-K2Ti6O13/BiOX in Blue LED confirmed by Blue light absorption of Na-K2Ti6O13/BiOX via DRS measurements. The bare Na-K2Ti6O13 is almost no active (≈10 %) under Blue LED, while Na-K2Ti6O13/BiOX showed 99 % degradation under the same condition for AB 1 degradation. The stability of the Na-K2Ti6O13/BiOX was tested against AB 1 dye degradation with multiple runs. The degradation intermediates of AB 1 and TCN were analysed by GC–MS, and suitable degradation pathways were proposed. The Na-K2Ti6O13/BiOX was tested real wastewater treatment via microbial disinfection under Blue LED. The prepared composite could be effectivity used for piolet or industrial scale level effluent treatment.
