Synthesis of silver nanoparticles from natural derived embelin compound and their uses in mercury degradation under solar light

Abstract The present study deals with the isolation of embelin compound from Embelia ribes (Burm f). isolated compounds were confirmed by UV/Vis spectrophotometer, 1 H NMR and 13 C spectra. In absorption at 275 nm in spectra, peak range 5.7ppm value 28.52, 29.35, 31.73ppm to are embelin. This used as a reducing agent for silver nanoparticles synthesis. synthesized En-AgNPs morphologically structurally FT-IR, SEM, EDAX, XRD. spherical shape size <100 nm. based degrade toxic metal like Mercury under solar light. was degraded within 60 min photo catalytic degradation.
