Day-to-day increasing in the usage of organic dye and disposed waste has increases the environmental pollution. So there is an emergency need to removal of toxic dyes solution itself non-toxic. In the present work, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) from silver ions using the reducing and capping agent of Millingtonia hortensis leaf broth. UV-Vis absorbance spectral value at 423 nm was confirmed the product of Ag NPs. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern was confirm the crystalline nature of metallic silver. High resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM)analysis morphology of images identified the spherical shape particles with sizes from 20 to 50nm. The product of Ag NPs was applied as photocatalyst in the reduction/degradation of Congo red in the presence of NaBH4 under different experimental conditions to confirm the pseudo first order kinetics. The Ag NPs was good photocatalyst in the reduction/degradation of Congo red within 14 min.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
