Abstract

Nano scale zero valent iron (NZVI) was synthesized and tested for the purification of waste water contaminated by the organic pollutants. In the present study removal of basic blue 3 dye was investigated by NZVI adsorbent. NZVI adsorbent was prepared in the presence of N₂ gas atmosphere by sodium boro- hydrate (NaHB₄) reduction method. The particle size of the prepared adsorbent was approximately in the range of 1 × 10 ^-2 nm to 2 × 10^-2 nm. The adsorption of basic blue 3 dyes was confirmed with various parameters such as ionic strength, contact time and initial dye concentrations. The experiments were carried out in a batch mode technique. The surface morphology was studied by SEM analysis technique.
