Description
Summary:The present study describes the green synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles using Sesbania Grandiflora and Solanum nigrum leaf extracts. The characterisation of synthesised nanoparticles is carried out using XRD and FTIR. The photo catalytic degradation of Rhodamine-B dye is carry out under sunlight irradiation by using UV- Vis spectrophotometer. Among the synthesized catalysts, SG/TiO2 was found to be the best for the photocatalytic degradation of dye. The degraded dye water is also tested for the water quality parameters and the results are discussed.
