In this work, heterogeneous photocatalysis was used to treat pulp and paper mill effluent (PPME). Magnetically retrievable FeO-TiO was fabricated by employing a solvent-free mechanochemical process under ambient conditions. Findings elucidated the successful incorporation of FeO into the TiO lattice.
