AB  - An effective method using nontoxic and efficient photocatalysts are crucial for 
      wastewater treatment. Bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) is considered as one of the 
      valuable photocatalysts due to its unique layered plate like structure, however 
      higher recombination and unsatisfied visible light absorption efficiency 
      seriously affecting its applications. Addition of tetrahedral silver phosphate 
      (Ag(3)PO(4)) which is known for its superior photocatalytic efficiency under 
      visible light is believed to be the solution for the issue. Upon further adding 
      of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) could form a bridging structure and enhance the 
      activity. Considering the merits of these materials the BiOCl 
      (110)/rGO/Ag(3)PO(4) (111) heterojunction has been successfully constructed for 
      2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP) enhanced detoxification. The efficiency in degradation 
      was found to be 94.8% by BiOCl/rGO/Ag(3)PO(4) (k = 0.01879 min(-1)) that was 
      greater to that of pure Ag(3)PO(4) ( approximately 1.9 times; k = 0.00818 min(-1)) and pure 
      BiOCl ( approximately 2.8 times; k = 0.00642 min(-1)) after 60 min of visible light 
      irradiation. The mechanism of degradation was explained through the principle of 
      heterojunction energy-band theory. Furthermore, 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) 
      degradation products identification was carried out by ESI/LC-MS to propose the 
      degradation pathway. Furthermore, the phytotoxicity of the intermediate products 
      was investigated by estimating the germination index (GI) values on Phaseolus 
      vulgaris (P. vulgaris) at different time intervals and the GI values were found 
      to be 10.79% and 80.17% before and after degradation respectively. Thus, our 
      results revealed that efficient and significant toxicity reduction was observed 
      in this photodegradation.
