In the technological world, the waste water contamination causes several problems to environment. Biologically synthesized Cadmium Oxide nano particle is a good semiconductor which acts as photocatalyst in the degradation of methylene blue. We get 98% of degradation rate of methylene blue under the sun light during the time intervals. The degradation rate is determined by the pseudo-first order kinetics. This CdO nano catalyst is characterized by UV-Visible, IR, XRD, and SEM spectroscopic techniques.
