Abstract
The water from industries with potential hazardous organic matters when discharged into the water bodies cause undesirable effects to the environment, aquatic life and human health. So it is necessary to treat waste water prior to their disposal. Degradation of organic pollutants is a major concern in the present scenario due to its stability, fastness to sunlight, resistance to degrading agents or microbial attack. It is mainly achieved by silver metal nanoparticles synthesised by green route. Degradation of dyes using metal nanoparticles is an environmental benign method. Silver metal nanoparticles show high catalytic potential due to its unique property of smaller structure and large surface to volume ratio. This review provides a detailed report of the degradation of various organic pollutants by phyto synthesised silver metal nanoparticles.
