Investigation of tannery liming waste water using green synthesised iron oxide nano particles
The present study aimed that non-toxic, less expensive, easily available, safer to environment and previously unreported Eclipta prostrata leaf extract is used for the green synthesis of iron oxide nano particles. The iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) were characterised by UV–visible,
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Tannery effluents treated by photodegradation process and the removal efficiency of chemical oxygen
demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and sulphide were analysed. The maximum removal efficiency correlated with operating parameters was explained using response surface methodology with Boxmen Beckmen design.
Keywords: BOD; COD; Green synthesis; nano particles; sulphide; tannery effluents
