REVIEW ON GREEN SYNTHESIS OF COPPER NANOPARTICLES DESIGNED FROM OCIMUM SANCTUM FOR PURIFICATION OF WASTE WATER

Green nanotechnology and its utility in synthesis of nanoparticles is an area of significant research intertest. For this project, synthesis of copper nanoparticles was done using Ocimum sanctum extract. Copper nanoparticles are gaining more attention in the field of agriculture, sensor, organic reactions, water purification etc. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized by XRD and UV–Vis spectroscopy. Method used for the synthesis of stable copper nanoparticles is rapid and ecofriendly. As we know, our river water is getting polluted mostly by waste coming out from our industries. Copper nanoparticles prepared by leaf extract are not hazardous to our environment. We have conducted our study by using Methylene blue dye (MB) and Rhodamine B (Rh B) dye. We have also studied the dye degradation reactions by using UV visible spectrophotometer.
