P. REJANI AND K. RANI PILLAI

Abstract

In the present work MnO2 nano particle was synthesized using green method, the plant extract used for the synthesis was Centella asiatica. The synthesized material was characterized using XRD, SEM, FTIR and UV/V is absorbance spectroscopy. The study investigates the applicability of MnO2 nano particle for the photo catalytic degradation of the dye Malachite green. The green synthesized material used as a good candidate for the removal of dyes.
