Effort has been made using the obtained nanomaterial for environmental applications as bio sorbent. Characterization of the obtained nanoparticles was done ed using X-Ray Diffraction Spectrometer (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectrometer (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. The novel nanomaterial resulted from the synthesis had organic surface molecules due to the phyco-chemicals that was confirmed through FTIR. The incorporation of the phyco-chemicals was identified from the X-ray diffraction patterns of silver nano particles. The morphology of the nanoparticles as observed from SEM was found to be smooth, spherical,and homogeneously distributed of size around 20 nm, also confirmed through TEM.Adsorption studies using the nano sorbent showed significant dye reduction of 97.4% atoptimum conditions of 7.0 pH at 27°C with 300 mg of Silver nano particles. kinetic studies on adsorption were carried out, which showed pseudo second order kinetics fits well the adsorption studies with favourable adsorption of reactive dye used. The obtained nanomaterial can be instantly used for controlling the dye that is polluting the environment from textile industries. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
