Abstract
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanomaterials are noteworthy for their valuable photoactive properties and applications. Their cellulosic nano-particles could be used for the decoloration of polluted water since they are eco-friendly. Therefore, this study investigated the cellulose powder coated with a layer of nano-crystalline-titanium dioxide (TiO2) through the sonosynthesis process to minimize the hazardous of contaminated water containing reactive dyes. Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Zeta Potential Spectroscopy were utilized to examine the subsequent composition. Decoloration of the compositions was perceived through Ultra Violet (UV) light at 30 min. It was observed that the composition simultaneously improved the quality (cleaning) of polluted water. It absorbed the reactive dye hastily in 2 min which is the fastest time reported up to now and transformed the polluted water quality into hygienic condition. Additionally, the cleaning efficiency of the polluted water was increased with the number of functional repeats. Thus, assisted in an eco-friendly remedy of wastewater and minimizing the pollution.
