Comparative Study of Dye Degradation by Using Green Synthesized ZnO Nanoparticle and Bacillus

Abstract

Abstract: Comparative study of methylene blue degradation by using green synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticle and microorganism. Zinc oxide nanoparticle are synthesized by using Camellia sinensis plant extract. Comparative study shows that zinc oxide nanoparticle is more effective in degradation of methylene blue dye than microorganism. ZnO nanoparticle are capable to degrade methylene blue in brief time due to its extract capped zinc oxide nanoparticle. Using Bacillus species degradation of dye increase with increasing time.
