Abstract

In present investigation, TiO2 nano particles synthesized by green route using titanium isopropoxide precursor and Azardica indica leaf extract were used for the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine-B. The green synthesized nano TiO2 were characterized by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, particle size distribution, Fourier transform infrared and scanning electron microscopy. Photocatalytic degradation was conducted in batch experiments, wherein the effect of process parameters such as photo catalyst concentration, pH and contact time on dye degradation rate under UV irradiation was studied. The extent of degradation was quantized by measuring the absorbance of samples by UV-visible spectrophotometer. The nano TiO2 synthesized showed the effective degradation of Rhodamine-B. The degradation kinetics was also studied.
