Comparative Studies on the Catalytic Behaviour of Green Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Containing Biostabilizers for the Oxidative Degradation of Aqueous Organic Compounds

Worldwide technological and agricultural development, are often contaminating surface water by a variety of toxic organicpollutants such as Nitrophenols, Bisphenol A, Di amino naphthalene etc at the trace level.In this study green iron oxide nanoparticles was synthesized using biostabilizers via sol gel method and were characterized using FTIR.The ability of the green catalyst to degrade the organic pollutants was investigated.Kinetic parameters are obtained from the time variance UV -Visible spectra, under pseudo first order conditions.Among Iron oxide stabilized with chitosan and starch, catalytic efficiency of Iron oxide stabilized with chitosan was found to be higher.
