Abstract:The present work employs Ocimum Basilicum extract as a bio-reducing and a capping agent to synthesize zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) at different temperatures (30 o C, 6 0 o C, and 90 o C) in an efficient, simple, and environmentally friendly method (green synthesis), as well as their use in treating wastewater and antibacterial activity. The samples have a hexagonal structure confirmed by the X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and by using the Scherrer equation, the particle size was calculated. UV-Visible diffuse … Show more
