ABSTRACT: In this paper, chemically synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs), were employed for two processes: one is photocatalytic degradation and second one adsorption for the sorption of safranine (SA) dye in an aqueous medium at pH?=?12.01. The optimized analytes amount (nano-adsorbent?=?0.10?g, conc. range of SA dye 56.13 ppm to 154.37 ppm, pH?=?12.01, temperature 303?K) reached to equilibrium point in 80?min, which acquired for chemical adsorption-degradation reactions. The degredated SA dye data's recorded by UV-visible spectroscopy for the occurrence of TMO-NMs of CuO-NPs at anticipated period of interval. The feasible performance of CuO-NPs was admirable, shows good adsorption capacity qm?=?53.676?mg?g-1 and most convenient to best fitted results establish by linear regression equation, corresponded for selected kinetic model (pseudo second order (R2?=?0.9981), equilibrium isotherm models (Freundlich, Langmuir, Dubnin-Radushkevich (D-R), Temkin, H-J and Halsey), and thermodynamic parameters (?H°?=?75461.909?J?mol-1, ?S°?=?253.761?J?mol-1, ?G°?=?-1427.93?J?mol-1, Ea?=?185.142?J?mol-1) with error analysis. The statistical study revealed that CuO-NPs was an effective adsorbent certified photocatalytic efficiency (??=?84.88%) for degradation of SA dye, exhibited more feasibility and good affinity toward adsorbate, the sorption capacity increases with increased temperature at equilibrium point.
