An Evaluation of Activity of Prepared Zinc Nanoparticles with Extract Green Plant in Treatments of Diclofenac, Levofloxacin, and Tetracycline in Water

Myrtle plant was washed, dried, and powdered after harvesting to produce a fine powder used in water treatment. An alcoholic extract was created from the myrtle plant using ethanol, which was then analyzed using GC-Mass, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy to identify the active components. Zinc nanoparticles were created using alcoholic extract. FT-IR, UV-Vis, SEM, EDX, and TEM were used to characterize zinc nanoparticles. Using a continuous processing procedure, zinc nanoparticles with myrtle extract and powder were employed to clean polluted water containing pesticides and antibiotic. First, ۲ g of zinc nanoparticles was mixed with ۲۰ ml of polluted water and the result was (Tetra ۴۴%, Levo ۳۲%), after that used ۴ g (Tetra ۱۰۰%, Levo ۱۰۰%). Next, myrtle plant was used to treat water (Tetro ۱۰۰%, Levo ۱۰۰%). As compared myrtle powder with zinc nanoparticle, it was found that myrtle plant was preferred in water treatment.
