Background and Objective: Environmental pollution from human activities is a major challenge of civilization today. This study aimed to use Sn doped ZnO nanoaprticles for the purification polluted water from dye and heavy metal. Materials and Methods: The Sn doped ZnO nanoparticles have been synthesized using a simple chemical method and characterized by XRD, SEM and AFM. The degradation efficiency of Sn/ZnO nanoparticles was studied against methyl orange dye along with Cr(VI) by using a UV-vis spectrophotometer (Sl-210 Double Beam UV Visible Spectrophotometer (Elico)). Results: The results demonstrated that the photocatalyst was efficient at 200 mg L–1, the maximum amount of degradation (80.2 %) have been observed for MO/Cr(VI) after 2 h. Conclusion: The photocatalytic performance of the Sn/ZnO nanoparticles was stable after the nanoparticles were reused 5 times. The photocatalytic ability of the Sn-doped ZnO film allowed the development of a low cost, high efficiency and environmentally friendly material for water treatment applications using sunlight.
