Degradation Of Synthetic Dyes By Green Synthesis Of Silver Nanoparticles Using Leaf Extract

Abstract

The Textile effluent toxicity is currently a worldwide concern. To address this issue, this study introduced a low-cost, environmentally friendly technique for toxic dye adsorption. Green synthesis has gotten a lot of attention in materials science as a reliable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly method for making a variety of materials/Nano-materials, such as metal/metal oxide nanomaterial’s, hybrid materials, and bio inspired materials. As a result, green synthesis is seen as an important tool for reducing the harmful effects of traditional method. When the aqueous leaf extract was added to the silver nitrate solution, the reaction medium's color changed from pale yellow to brown, indicating that the silver ions were reduced to silver nanoparticles. The UV-Vis spectrophotometer was used to identify the synthesized silver nanoparticles. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to examine dispersion and morphology. The effective functional molecules responsible for the reduction and stabilization of silver nanoparticles synthesized by leaf extract were identified using the FESEM and FTIR spectrum. The present experimentation carried out in a batch process using sorption method. The optimization studies are pH, concentration, temperature and the green synthesized silver nanoparticles effectively degraded the dye by nearly 95 percent.
