Abstract :

The present study deals with the decontamination of Textile dyeing industry effluent using iron oxide nanoparticles. The iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical precipitation method and characterized using SEM, EDAX and FTIR.SEM image of iron oxide nanoparticles was observed at the wavelength range from 10.87 mm, 10.91 mm, 10.86 mm and 10.94 mm. EDAX spectrum recorded on the iron nanoparticles is shown as three peaks located between 2 keV and 10 keV. The FTIR spectrum of iron nanoparticles was analyzed in the range of 400–4000 cm–1 and spectral bands were observed .Textile dyeing industry effluent was exposed to low and high dose of iron nanoparticles and sunlight for a period of half an hour. The pH of the effluent in control is 7.3 and the pH is lowered with increasing dose of iron nanoparticles. The electrical conductivity, COD and Calcium content decreased with increasing dose of iron oxide nanoparticles. From the present study, it is concluded that the iron oxide nanoparticles remove toxicants present in the textile dyeing industry effluent.
