Abstract

In this study, ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized using metal acetate, egg white as bio-template in water under microwave irradiation followed by calcination at 700 °C. The obtained ZnO nanoparticles with hexagonal wurtzite structure were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, TGA/DSC, FT-IR techniques. The photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanoparticles was evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of Congo red as organic dye pollutant under UV-light irradiation within 40 min. It was found that, the kinetic of photocatalytic behaviour of ZnO is first order. The stability and reusability of the prepared catalyst was considerable.
