ENHANCED PHOTOCATALYTIC METHYLENE BLUE DYE DEGRADATION WITH MANGANESE OXIDE NANOPARTICLES FROM Ziziphus Oenopolia (L.) MILL FRUIT EXTRACTS FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT
This analysis reveals the capacity of manganese oxide nanoparticles to enhance methylene blue dye degradation, suggesting improved wastewater treatment applications.
Key Points
Manganese oxide nanoparticles achieved a 90% degradation rate of methylene blue dye at pH 9 within sixty minutes.
Increased catalyst dosage raised the degradation percentage from 49% to 93% when adjusting from 0.005 to 0.013.
The synthesis procedure involved using Ziziphus oenopolia fruit extract as a bio-reductant for manganese oxide nanoparticles.
The study highlights how photo-catalysis can effectively purify polluted water using synthesized nanoparticles.
