Abstract
The present paper reports the green synthesis of TiO2 NPs to evaluate its photocatalytic activity. In this synthesis we use Aegle marmelos leaf extract as reducing and stabilizing agent. The TiO2 nanoparticles were characterized by using various advance analytical tools. The FTIR analysis revels the presence of different functional group present on the surface of the fabricated nanoparticles. The result of SEM analysis indicated that the prepared nanoparticles were almost spherical in nature and particles are in agglomerated state with bunch size less than 150 nm. The X-ray analysis of our synthesized nanoparticles clearly indicated that the particles are exit in anatase phase. Photocatalytic degradation studies of our nanoparticles were also evaluated against the most common nitroimidazole derivative drug ornidazole (ODZ) and the result of this study provide a good alternative path to remove the ODZ contaminants from waste water. The photocatalytic degradation of selected drug follow pseudo-first order reaction.
