Abstract
Synthesis of nanoparticles by the biologically inspired processes evolving into an important branch of nanotechnology. Increasing demands of nanoparticles for textile and other industries discovered the new eco friendly green method for the synthesis of nanoparticles. In this study, synthesis of stable silver nanoparticles was done using Coriandrum sativum leaf extract. UV-Vis spectrometer used to monitor the reduction of Ag ions and formation of silver nanoparticles in medium. XRD, SEM and SEM EDX was used to characterise the synthesis of particles at nanoscale. UV spectral analysis gave the prior prediction of formation of silver nano particles. The peaks in the XRD pattern associated with that of face-centered-cubic (FCC) form of metallic silver. SEM and SEM EDX associated with the size of the particle at nanoscale and the content associated in the synthesis procedure. The synthesized naoparticles were used for the effective photocatalytic degradation of the textile dyes.
