TRANSFORMATION OF HETEROCYCLIC DYE METHYLENE BLUE THROUGH ZNO NANO PARTICLE CATALYST

Transformation of Methylene Blue Dye (MB) using ZnO nano particle as catalyst into simpler basic molecules in 3 hour time duration. It has been found that ZnO nano particles have good potential to transform heterocyclic compounds into basic smaller molecules in very short duration. we also observed the influence of different operating regulators on rate of transformation - lamp light intensity, temperature, catalyst, pH,. ZnO is capable to transform all MB molecules in simpler form like CO2, NOx. Due to light-catalytic action and we can recover 99.9 % transparent water in 3 hour. We can reuse same catalyst many times. This technique of transformation of heterocyclic molecules will prove more economical.
