Abstract

Recently non-harmful nanomaterials have acquired critical significant attention in wastewater treatment containing organic pollutants especially toxic and hazardous dyes. In this regard, a low cost and eco friendly method has been investigated for the green synthesis of alumina nanoparticles (Al2O3 NPs). The alumina nanoparticles were synthesized using an aqueous extract of Psidium guajava leaf as a potential stabilizing agent. The UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) techniques were used to characterize the synthesized nanoparticles. The absorption at 281 nm confirmed the formation of alumina nanoparticles. The FTIR spectra and XRD analysis confirmed the presence of various functional groups and crystalline structures of Al2O3 NPs during the synthesis. The spectrum clearly indicates the organic moieties in Psidium guajava extract are responsible for the biosynthesis of Al2O3 NPs. The suface morphology of Al2O3 NPs was confirmed by SEM and EDS studies. Besides this, the removal of methylene blue through adsorption and kinetic study was also reported.
