AB  - A practical photocatalytic method using efficient and nontoxic is crucial for 
      wastewater treatment technology. The present study deals with the preparation of 
      BiPO(4)/Ag(3)PO(4)@rGO heterojunction through hydrothermal process and utilized 
      it for efficient degradation and detoxification of Tetracycline (TCL) antibiotic. 
      The prepared composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-vis DRS 
      spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Transmission electron 
      microscope (TEM) and XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). From our study, it 
      was evident that the addition of Ag(3)PO(4) extensively improved the 
      photocatalytic efficiency of BiPO(4) with a degradation of the rate of 94.6% 
      (k = 0.01783 min(-1)) towards TCL under visible light within 90 min irradiation. 
      The heterojunction energy-band theory has been adopted to understand the 
      mechanism of degradation. The improved efficiency was ascribed to the excellent 
      charge transfer between the interface of p-n heterojunction and the improvement 
      in the absorption of light. Furthermore, LC/ESI-MS/MS (liquid 
      chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry) carried out TCL 
      degradation product identification to propose the degradation pathway. The 
      biotoxicity assessment studies revealed that effective detoxification was 
      observed during degradation. Thus, this work extends new methods for developing 
      new BiPO(4)-based heterojunction composites to meet the requirements for 
      remediation of a contaminated aqueous environment.
