Dye wastewater discharged after improper treatment is very harmful for environment and living creatures. As per mandate, the dye wastewater should be treated well in order to prevent any negative effects after discharge. Although there are various methods which are in use, however most of these methods have some or the other associated disadvantages i.e., high cost, generation of secondary pollutants, low efficiency, complexity etc. The objective of this study is to identify the dye degradation (orange and blue dye-individually/mixture) potential of chemically synthesized silver nanoparticles (CH-AgNPs) along with NaBH₄. Literature studies highlighted the efficacy of AgNPs for individual dye degradation, however it is very important to study the degradation potential of nanoparticles in presence of dye mixture (to mimic the natural wastewater condition). In the present study, the rapid synthesis of silver …
