Abstract

In this study nanoscaled Nickel oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using clove extract under atmospheric condition through green synthesis. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using FT-IR, UV-Visible spectroscopy, EDAX, SEM and XRD techniques. Using Debye Scherer’s formula, the crystallite size was calculated. The presence of Ni was confirmed using EDAX. Using the synthesized nanoparticle, degradation of Congo Red dye was carried out. The effect of various parameters on dye degradation like catalyst dosage, dye concentration, pH were investigated systematically. The results revealed that NiO nanocatalyst are an efficient catalyst to carry out the degradation of Organic dyes.
