Abstract
CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites were successfully synthesized using Parkia speciosa Hassk bark aqueous extract by one pot phytosynthesis method. Parkia speciosa Hassk bark extract was used for the first time, in a novel approach, for phytosynthesis of CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites through this work. The properties of nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy—Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM–EDX), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Raman, and UV–Vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV–Vis DRS). The CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites were successfully formed with well-dispersed and small particle size (22.2 nm). The nanocomposites exhibit superior photocatalytic activity under sodium light irradiation toward reduction of nitroaromatic compound within 4 min reaction time. This result demonstrated promising green CeO2-ZnO nanocomposites for sustainable wastewater treatment.
期刊介绍:
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments.
Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation.
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
