In this study, the catalytic mechanism of cetrimonium bromide (CTAB), a cationic surfactant,by pure ZnO nanoparticles was investigated.Further observed ZnO nanoparticles synthesization by precipitation method in aqueous solution with sulfates of metallic precursors.Adding,XRD(X-Ray Diffraction) and SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) were observed for the crystalline and structural analysis of synthesized ZnO nanoparticles.SEM shows obtained ZnO nanoparticles are of size 180.4 nm.For phase identification o f a crystalline material XRD was used and to observe chemical properties of ZnO nanoparticles,studied FTIR (Fourier Transmission of Infra-Red).The maximum percentage removal of CTAB was found to be 95% by varying different conditions by time,dosage,pH and temperature parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
