Synthesis, characterization and photo-catalytic activity of guar-gum-g-aliginate@silver bionanocomposite material.

ABSTRACT: The green mechanism for the synthesis of nanoparticles and their application to the wastewater treatment is of inordinate curiosity to the research community. Herein we outline a novel method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles via a green route using alginate-guar gum blend (GG-Alg@Ag) and their application to degrade methylene blue (MB) dye. The synthesized material was characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM-EDX, TEM, TGA-DTG, AFM, and UV-vis techniques. A combination of RSM and CCD was employed to compute the system and optimized values of various interacting parameters such as exposure time (120 min), pH (4.98), dye concentration (194 mg L^-1), and catalyst dose (0.07 g) with a photodegradation capacity of 92.33% and desirability 1.0. The mechanism of degradation reacti
