Abstract

The objective of the study is to evaluate the photocatalytic property related to the degradability of methyl yellow using ZnO nanoparticles (NP ZnO) synthesized by the green route method, using the aqueous extract of Coriandrum sativum as input. The degradation effect was under the influence of UV-A light using low power lamp. Spectrophotometric evaluation of the nanostructured material shows the typical absorbance peak for ZnO; Likewise, the characterization by scanning electron microscopy shows a highly defined spherical geometry with an average size of 97.77 nm. Elemental analysis by EDS shows the peak corresponding to Zn. The photocatalytic activity suggests a very good efficiency in the photodegradability of methyl yellow when 7mL of the NP ZnO catalyst is used, reaching an efficiency of 86.64%.
