Structural, optical and photocatlytic properties of zinc oxide nanoparticles obtained by simple plant extract mediated synthesis
摘要： We report a facile and inexpensive method to prepare zinc oxide nanoparticles with different particle size and shape using Achyranthes aspera and Couroupita guianensis leaf extracts as the reducing agent and zinc nitrate as a precursor. The prepared zinc oxide nanoparticles were analyzed by various characterization methods and obtained results evidently revealed that crystalline parameter, purity, optical absorption, band gap, particle size and shape of the ZnO nanoparticles significantly influenced by the type of leaf extract used as reducing agent. Further, photocatlytic activity study obviously demonstrates that prepared samples exhibits superior photocatlytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue dye by creating superoxide anion radicals and OH radicals under photonic irradiation. Hence, prepared zinc oxide nanoparticles by plant extract mediated synthesis can be applied as a photocatlyst for the possible waste water treatment in textile industry.

One-Pot Synthesis of Magnesium Aminoclay–Iron Oxide Nanocomposites for Improved Photo-Fenton Catalytic Performance
摘要： Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely used in photo-Fenton catalysis applications for water/waste water treatment. Their drawbacks, however, continue to limit their potential. In the present study, we synthesized magnesium aminoclay–iron oxide [MgAC–Fe3O4] nanocomposites in DI water solution by treated them under 4% H2/Ar for 3 hours in a 500 (cid:3)C furnace. Obtained X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns con?rmed that the growth of the Fe3O4 NPs in the amorphous MgAC; also, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images indicated that the MgAC–Fe3O4 nanocomposites were in an aggregated form of 170 ± 117 nm average-diameter. MgAC[0.7 g]–Fe3O4 nanocomposite exhibited the best photo-Fenton catalysis with methylene blue (MB) was completely removed from the treatment solution at a constant rate of 0.0083 (min?1(cid:2) on the batch scale. This performance was 13.83 times better than that of commercial Fe3O4. On the pilot scale (100 L), MgAC[0.7 g]–Fe3O4 nanocomposite took 12 hours to completely removed MB from tap water. The mechanism of the high photo-Fenton catalysis was attributed to the higher rate adsorption of MgAC as well as Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area.
