Abstract

The main objective of the study is to determine the important features exhibited by FTIR. Dried leaves f Bhringaraj, a medicinal plant used in Ayurveda were selected for study. The vibrational assignments, intensities and wave numbers were obtained by absorption spectra. Various functional groups and chemical constituents were identified. This article gives an insight about the importance of herbal analysis and gives a platform for using these medicinal plants for developing wastewater treatment technology and for improving the quality of drinking water.
