GREEN SYNTHESIS OF ZINC OXIDE NANOPARTICLES USING POTATO PEEL AND DEGRADATION OF TEXTILE MILL EFFLUENT BY PHOTOCATALYTIC ACTIVITY
Bhuvaneswari S.*, Subashini G. and Smitha Subramaniyam
Abstract Textile industry is one of the oldest industries in India with over 1000 industry. A facile green recipe was developed to synthesize highly pure, safe and durable zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONps) using domestic waste-starch rich potato peel. The ZnONps were synthesized using zinc oxide powders and potato peel. The particle size and morphology of the synthesized nanoparticles is characterized by using UV VIS spectrophotometer, FTIR and SEM analysis. The effluents were treated with ZnONps and the photocatalytic degradation capability of the dyes significantly enhanced the great potential for wastewater treatment system. Keywords: zinc oxide nanoparticles, Effluent, Photocatalytic activity, Potato peel. [Full Text Article] [Download Certificate] |
