Investigating of wastewater treatment by using of synthesized Zinc Titanium oxide nanoparticles

In this study, ZnTiO۳ nanoparticles were successfully prepared by sol-gel method. For preparation of these nanoparticles, zinc acetate and tetra-n-butyl orthotitanate were used as the sources of zinc and titanium, respectively. Stearic acid was used as the complexing agent. Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used for characterization, phase detection, and determination of the size and morphology of the particles, respectively. The size of the synthesized zinc titanium oxide nanoparticles was obtained approximately between ۳۷-۵۶ nm.To investigate the efficiency of the synthesized nanoparticles in removal of pollutants, Tartrazine was used as the model pollutant. To obtain the optimum condition, the effects of concentration, pH, time, and the amount of ZnTiO۳ adsorbent were investigated. Studies showed that ZnTiO۳ nanoparticles demonstrated good efficiency in removal of Tartrazine green.
