Abstract

This paper investigates the elimination of two different organic dyes, m-toluidine and p-toluidine, utilizing the photocatalytic activity of Mg decorated ZnO nanoparticles that were biosynthesized using a biomass (Portulaca oleracea plant extract). The chemical and physical characteristics of Mg@ZnO nanoparticles were investigated using a variety of characterization techniques, including FTIR, UV, XRD, and SEM. Mg@ZnO nanoparticles organic dyes removal was then compared with pure ZnO nanoparticles. The characterization results have confirmed the biosynthesis of Mg@ZnO nanoparticles with a crystallite size ranged between 22 and 21 nm and band gap of 2.64 eV. The photocatalytic activity results have shown a significant organic dyes removal, where 100% of both m-toluidine and p-toluidine were removed within 60 min. The obtained results prove Mg@ZnO nanoparticles efficiency and its potential use as cost effective and safe alternative for water treatment.
