Green Synthesis and Characterization of TiO2 nanoparticles using extract of Alhagimaurorum for the Treatment of Waste Water

Abstract

:

Development of industries in the human based area became source of ecological contamination through accumulation of various health hazard pollutants into the water. Water is highly imperative treasure for living creature on earth because of its too much importance in physiochemical and for people’s requirement. The objective of the current study is to synthesize the ecofriendly TiO2 nanoparticles using extract of pharmaceutically important plant Alhagimaurorum. The studies plant was collected locally. The TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared using the simple already reported method, by addition of TiO2 into the crude extract until change in color occurs. The synthesis was confirmed through UV-spectroscopic andFourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, shape and size of particles were measure using scanning electron microscope. The elemental presence was assured through energy Dispersive X-ray spectrometric analysis. The result showed that color change, band shift confirmed the successful synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles. Maximum synthesized nanoparticles were round in shape with varying in size. The waste water cleaning efficacy of prepared nanoparticles was analyzed. The prepared TiO2 nanoparticles significantly reduced the total dissolved salt contents and hardness of water. Therefore these synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles could be the best source for cleaning of waste water particularly hardness and total dissolved salts from waste water without spoiling quality of water.
