- Description
- Biocompatible nanoparticle synthesis from Strobilanthes hamiltoniana leaf extracts is an ecologically friendly, cost-effective and long-lasting technique for wastewater treatment, particularly for textile dye degradation. S. hamiltoniana mediated silver nanoparticles (SH-Ag NPs) showed a maximum absorbance of 432 nm. Based on the FESEM analysis, the SH-Ag NPs were usually spherical with an average diameter of nm. The FTIR analyses revealed the significance of functional groups in the formation of SH-Ag NPs. Degradation and rate of degradation for textile dyes after 320 min, SH-Ag NPs displayed 88.4%, 79.49%, 0.0059 min-1 and 0.00495 min-1 for reactive blue 220 (RB-220) and reactive blue 222A (RB-222A) dyes. The phytotoxicity study of SH-Ag NPs treated dye solutions demonstrated a significant decrease in inhibitory efficiency when compared to dye effluents. The biosynthesized SH-Ag NPs could represent a viable catalyst alternative for treating textile dye degradation both before and after it enters aquatic environments. 2024 Asian Publication Corporation.
