Abstract

Large-scale pollution of water and soils bodies is associated with the discharge of the untreated textile industry effluents. Halophytes grows on saline lands and accumulate secondary metabolites and other stress protective compounds. Utilization of Chenopodium album (halophytes) to synthesize zinc oxide (ZnO) and their efficiency to treat different concentrations of textile industry waste water is proposed in this study. Potential of nanoparticles textile industry waste water effluents was also analyzed by exposing different concentrations of nanoparticles (0 (control), 0.2, 0.5, 1mg) and time intervals of 5, 10, and 15days. The absorption peaks by UV region, FTIR and SEM analysis were used characterized on ZnO NPs for the first time. FTIR analysis showed the preens of various functional groups and vital phytochemicals that can play its role in the formation of nanoparticles that can be used for trace elements removal and bioremediation. SEM analysis indicated that the pure ZnO NPs synthesis ranged from 30 to 57nm. Results shows that the green synthesis of halophytic nanoparticles presents maximum removal capacity after 15days exposure to 1mg of ZnO NPs. Hence, the prepared ZnO Nps from halophytes can be a viable solution for treating the textile industry effluents before they are discharged into water bodies for sustainable environmental growth and environmental safety.
