Abstract

A tiny particle in the range from 1 to 1000 nanometres in size is defined as a nanoparticle. Zinc oxide nanoparticles were manufactured from fresh leaves extract and is used to decolourize Indigo Caramine dye from aqueous solution. It is a cost economical process. Various parameters like contact time, pH, dye concentration and nanoparticle dosage were studied for dyes removal. The results showed that the optimum conditions for I.C dye removal were: contact time 40 min and pH–5, Concentration of 20 mg/L and dosage 1.6 g/L. The present study also includes isotherms like Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin. This study also incorporated Lagergren first order and Pseudo second order kinetics. The total experimental data showed that the zinc oxide nanoparticles could be used as an efficient sorbent for decolorization of dyes, particularly Indigo Caramine dye from synthetic waste waters.
