Abstract

In the world industries are growing very rapidly resulting in fast development. Various industries are coming up such as that of dyes, paints, pharmaceuticals etc. Dyes are used in various industries and release pollutants in the environment. It is necessary to remove such pollutants from the environment. Euphorbia neriifolia L. grow as the weed in the forests of the konkan region in waste land area. This weed is a typical latex bearing plant. This latex can be converted into the powder under sun drying process. This powder can be used for the preparation of Fe nanoparticles. The plant assisted synthesized nanoparticles have good particle size, morphology and band gap. These nanoparticles used for the degradation of the dye like Methylene Blue and Methylene Red from the industrial waste. It gives very good results. We can develop new catalyst for the degradation of the dyes from the industrial waste. It act as good catalyst by the simple non form of the catalyst. This catalyst is derived from the plant Euphorbia neriifolia L. latex.

In this research paper we have developed the simple plant assisted Fe nanoparticles from the latex of plant Euphorbia neriifolia L. this plant is very rare and it occur through the This plant Euphorbia neriifolia L. coated nanoparticles are used for the degradation of dyes

Summary

Introduction

Industrial development occurs all over the world rapidly This industrial development is possible with the use of lot of chemicals and different chemical products. A lot of the wastes are thrown out in the environment. This waste includes solid, liquid and many times gases [1]. Most of the time solid and liquid wastes causes lot of pollution in water bodies. Most of the time photocatalyst become inexpensive method for degradation of waste water [3]. The photocatalyst are used due their band gap and activity. It became necessary to develop visible light or sunlight active photocatalyst, the most commonly used metal oxide photo catalyst such as Zinc oxide, Titanium dioxide, Ferrous oxide [5,6]
