description Nanoparticle incorporated membranes are potential tools to remove hazardous organic pollutants from drinking water sources.

The synthesized nanoparticles were extensively characterized using ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Nanoparticle tracking analysis. The spectroscopy results showed an absorbance peak at 300 nm, confirming the successful synthesis, while X-ray diffraction confirmed that the particles are crystalline with a mean particle size of 36 nm. The surface roughness and topography of the zinc nanoparticle impregnated membranes was studied using atomic force microscopy to check the homogeneity of dispersion of the nanoparticles in the membrane. The efficiency of the zinc nanoparticles and the zinc nanoparticle loaded cellulose acetate membranes for adsorption of organic herbicides such as metolachlor and acetochlor was studied.

The incorporation of zinc nanoparticles into the membrane decreased the time needed for the removal of the selected herbicides relative to that of the nanoparticles alone, and provides a promising method for water purification.
