Abstract
Water resources are becoming more confined in the world. Recycling waste water has become mandatory for the sustainable maintenance of water resources. Water processing can be done by various methods among which photocatalytic degradation is one of the effective treatment processes to be adopted. The current work focuses on the synthesis of CuO nanoparticles by biotemplate assisted method and testing the nanoparticles degradation efficiency against methyl orange under sunlight. The FTIR of the synthesized sample shows characteristic peaks at 521 cm−1, 474 cm−1 confirming the presence of CuO nanoparticles. The crystalline size of the sample was found to be 27.99 nm. The degradation of methyl orange under sunlight using CuO nanoparticles with 72% efficiency in 4 h was attested.
