Patent ID: 8715612

Claim:
A process for preparing zinc peroxide nanoparticles comprising the following steps: a) dissolving zinc acetate in ammonium hydroxide to obtain a solution mixture having pH in the range of 9-11; b) adding glycerol/PVP/TEA to the solution mixture obtained in step (a) in a ratio of zinc acetate to glycerol in the range of 2:0.5 to 6:1(w/w), PVP in the range of 10:0.25 to 10:1 (w/w) and TEA in the range of 1:1 to 1:0.5 (w/w) with respect to zinc acetate respectively; c) adding a polar organic solvent to the solution mixture obtained in step (b), under stirring, at ambient temperature in the range of 25-30° C., followed by adding equimolar quantity of hydrogen peroxide with respect to zinc acetate to obtain the desired nanoparticles of zinc peroxide.
