Facile Synthesis of Catalyst Free Carbon Nanoparticles From the Soot of Natural Oils

The growth of carbon nanostructures from vegetable oils using a modified conventional approach is simple and environmentally friendly technology with controllable features. goal this study to develop process for making nanoparticles commercially available, low-cost oils. technique involves the controlled burning “Mustard”, “Olive”, “Linseed” traditional clay lamps collecting soot on ceramic plate. prepared were purified through sonication subjected characterization powder X-ray diffraction, SEM, Fourier transformed infrared, Thermogravimetric differential scanning calorimetric analyses. average particle size as investigated by X-Ray Diffraction analyses was found be 18, 24, 57 nm mustard, olive linseed respectively. SEM revealed surface morphology these spherical particles. analysis (TGA) Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) providing knowledge about thermal stability nanoparticles. synthesized screened antibacterial activities against different species (e.g., Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Streptococcus haemolyticus Proteus refrigere Staphylococcus aureus ) fruitful results have been obtained.
