Zinc peroxide nanoparticles were synthesized by using ultrasound sonication process. Zinc   peroxide nanoparticles was Characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope. Zinc peroxide nanopaticle are used as a catalyst for removal of a Reactive blue 221 dye. Maximum  degradation efficiency of Reactive blue 221 dye was 85.52 % achieved by zinc peroxide with PEG as a catalyst and 81.69 % achieved by zinc peroxide  without PEG as a catalyst  at 120 min of photo catalytic reaction. The excellent degradation efficiency of Reactive blue 221 dye was achieved at the optimum operational conditions: initial concentration of dye 10 mg/lit, catalyst dosage of 200 mg, pH of solution will be in between 6.5 and temperature 35oC.
