In current years, pollution caused by synthetic dyes has become one of the most serious environmental issues. By rapidly developing industrial units, effluents having synthetic dyes are directly or indirectly being discharged into the environment. Bio-sorption is cost-effective way for the eradication of toxic dyes present in textile effluent. The present study involves the synthesis of nickel nanoparticles using Citrullus colocynthis stem extract. The characterization of synthesized nickel nanoparticles (Ni-NPs) was done by SEM. The synthesized Ni-NPs were used to degrade the Reactive Yellow 160 dye following the optimization of different experimental parameters. The maximum decolorization (91.4%) was obtained at 0.02% dye conc., 9 mg/L conc. of Ni-NPs, pH 7 at 40 °C. TOC and COD were used to assess the efficiency of this experiment. Percent reduction in COD and TOC was found to be 84.35% and 83.24% respectively. The degradation pathway of dye under study confirmed the formation of non-toxic end-products.
