Abstract:

Water pollution kills nearly 1.8 million people and cost trillions of dollars every year which continuously threatens the survival of human and animal in world. Textile industry is considered as pollutants releasing industries in water. In present research work, we firstly report synthesis of CeO2 nanoparticles in quantum dots range. Synthesized cerium oxide was assisted by three different surfactants, i.e., sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, anionic), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB, cationic) and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC, cationic), which were further characterized by UV-Visible, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), thermo gravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), photoluminescence (PL) etc. Particle size of CeO2 was lying between 1.66- 4.36 nm (calculated by HRTEM and imageJ software). Later, the catalytic role of CeO2 was victoriously investigated in Fenton reaction for the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye which behave as heterogeneous catalyst for the degradation of MB (thiazine dye) by Fenton like degradation.
