Ag@TiO2 nanoparticles are effective for solar photocatalytic degradation of phenol.
pH, catalyst loading and phenol concentration affect the rate of photocatalysis.
Immobilized Ag@TiO2 was effectively used for solar photocatalysis.
Fluidized bed reactor with recycle showed potential for large scale application.
Efficacy of Ag@TiO2 under UV and solar light were compared for phenol degradation.
