Characterisation and performance of ZnO nano particles for the removal of sodium dodycl sulphate

In the present study removal of sodium dodycl sulphate, an anionic surfactant by using ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-Nps) are investigated. Further ZnO-Nps were synthesised by using precipitation method in aqueous solution with sulphates of metallic precursors. By using XRD (X-ray diffraction) the crystalline analysis of nanoparticles was observed and by using SEM (scanning electron microscopy) the structure of nanoparticles was observed. For ZnO-Np the SEM size is 180.4 nm. For phase identification and crystalline material XRD was used and to observe chemical properties of ZnO-Np, studied Fourier transmission of infra-red. The maximum percentage removal of ZnO-Np was found to be 97% by varying different conditions by time, dosage, pH, initial concentration and temperature parameters.
