| Summary: | In present studyCu/ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by using precipitation method with sulphates of metallic precursors. Further the crystalline and structural analysis was being observed by XRD(X-Ray Diffraction) and SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope). SEM obtained Cu/ZnO nanoparticles size is 107.7 nm and also obtained information about surface topography and composition of the sample. XRD used for phase identification of a crystalline material and also studied FTIR (Fourier Transmission of Infra-Red) spectroscopy observes chemical properties ZnO nanoparticles exhibits catalyst activity but Cu/ZnO nanoparticles showed enhanced catalyst activity because here surface area is enhanced. Furthermore, their evaluations of catalyst removal of Dicofol involved to be determined. Here, percentage removal of Dicofol is being observed for Cu/ZnO nanoparticles by changing various parameters like time, dosage, pH and temperature obtained as 88.40% and 94% respectively. Box-Behnken design with Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was done for the optimization of the maximum percentage removal of Dicofol from water and it was found to be for Cu/ZnO nanoparticles as 95.12. |
