This work reports the green synthesis, photocatalysis and antibacterial studies of biocompatible Ricestraw based Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles for industrial waste water remediation. Metal oxide nanoparticles have large potential to oxidize the heavy contaminants and destroy microorganism due to its large surface area and small size. Impregnating biopolymer, Ricestraw with TiO2 enhances the rate of release of superoxide anions and ROS thereby shooting up the capability to treat waste water. The structural confirmation is done using X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The morphology of the samples is analyzed with Scanning Electron Micrographs (SEM). The UV–Vis absorption spectra of the samples are also recorded. The average crystalline size of the nanocomposite was found to be 4.9 nm. Anti-bacterial activity and Zone inhibition area of samples against both E. coli and B. cereus are studied using agar well diffusion method. The Photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposite for both azo and basic dyes at different illumination time are observed and the photocatalytic efficiency of the samples for all the dyes are measured. In this work 3 azo dyes and 3 basic dyes are considered. The studies suggest that composite of ricestraw based TiO2 is a potential candidate for industrial waste water treatment.
