Recent study was carried out to examine the efficacy of solar radiation in improving the quality of textile effluent in term of physicochemical properties and to degrade the dissolved organic matter (DOM) in textile effluent. The experiment was performed in natural light with dark control and both the changes in physicochemical parameters and the DOM in textile effluent were examined. Physicochemical properties of textile effluent changed gradually after photodegradation in different time intervals and the effluent quality improved. Not all the parameters were in standard limit but the pollution load decreased substantially. After twenty days of photodegradation, fluorescent intensity of DOM in textile effluent decreased from 5.5 RU to 0.16 RU which indicated photo-oxidation of low molecular weight DOM, whereas dark control showed no significant change in DOM fluorescent intensity.
