Removal of Toxic Substances From Textile Dyeing Industry Effluent Using Iron Oxide Nanoparticles
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
The present study deals with the removal of toxic substances from textile dyeing industry effluent using iron oxide nanoparticles. Iron Oxide Nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by simple and cost effective precipitation method without any other additives.The Nanoparticles were characterized by using SEM, EDAX, FTIR and XRD. SEM image of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles was observed at the wavelength range from 11.27 mm,11.27 and 11.28mm. EDAX spectrum recorded on the Iron Oxide Nanoparticles is shown as three peaks located between 2keV and 10keV.The FTIR spectrum of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles was analyzed in the range of 400-4000cm-1 and spectral bands were observed. 100mg of Iron Nanoparticles is introduced in textile dyeing industry effluent and exposed to sunlight for a period of one hour. The pH, electrical conductivity,total dissolved solids, COD, chloride, sodium, potassium, calcium, zinc and nickel of the effluent was decreased when exposed to Iron Oxide Nanoparticles under sunlight. The synthesized Iron Oxide Nanoparticles was found to be an effective and economically cheap absorbent in the removal of toxic substances from Textile dyeing Industry effluent.
