- Description
- Green synthesized nanoparticles from Strobilanthes barbatus leaf extracts are environmentally safe and feasible for enduring wastewater treatment, especially for organic textile dye degradation. The synthesized Strobilanthes barbatusmediated silver/silver-oxide nanoparticles (SB-Ag/AgO NPs) showed maximum absorbance at 428nm. The SB-Ag/AgO NPs were generally spherical with an average diameter of 37.59nm (FESEM and TEM analysis). The importance of functional groups in the production of SB-Ag/AgO NPs was recorded by FTIR investigations. In the degradation and rate of degradation for textile dyes, after 320min, SB-Ag/AgO NPs displayed 96.60% (5.31 10?1 L mg?1min?1) and 87.50% (1.179 10?1 L mg?1min?1) degradation of Reactive Blue 220 (RB-220) and Reactive Blue 222A (RB-222A), respectively. When compared to dye effluents, SB-Ag/AgO NPs-treated dye solutions revealed a considerable decrease in inhibitory efficiency during phytotoxicity evaluation on test organisms, Vigna radiata and Artemia salina. The biosynthesized SB-Ag/AgO NPs could serve as a feasible photocatalyst for the treatment of organic textile dyes in organic substancepolluted water ecosystems. SB-Ag/AgO NPs can serve as efficient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly sources for dye degradation. The current research offers a safe and environmentally friendly strategy for sustaining the environment.
