Project Name: Fluorescence Quenching of Metal Nanoclusters
Project Theme: Industry
This project uses spectroscopic measures to detect fluorescence of photons with a light sensor for estimating concentrations and levels of impurities present in water.
Copper and silver Nanoclusters were synthesized using Sodium Hydroxide, Silver Nitrate, Copper Nitrate, Sodium
Borohydrate, BSA; these were inserted in a Spectrophotometer for detection. The Primary contaminants were Ascorbic Acid, Hydrogen Peroxide and Zinc.
The project provides us valuable knowledge on Nanotechnology, conducting sophisticated experiments with cutting edge technology for realizing the potential of science to serve human well- being. Detection of impurities is important for ensuring further appropriate purification of water for industrial wastes and access to safe water on earth.
