Abstract
This study presents the biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), and iron oxide nanoparticles (FeO NPs) using V. corymbosum extracts as a reducing agent, varying the ultrasound extraction times (t1 = 20 min, t2 = 15 min, t3 = 10 min). Ag NPs exhibited an antimicrobial efficiency of 98.2 %, being most effective with t2 due to their smaller size. ZnO NPs demonstrated the best thermal stability with t1, and FeO NPs showed optimal magnetic properties with t3. The reduction of methylene blue by ZnO and FeO NPs was significant, with ZnO-t1 and FeO-t3 standing out. The nanoparticles exhibited distinctive optical characteristics and adequate morphology, depending on the extraction time. This work highlights the feasibility of using natural extracts to synthesize nanoparticles, promoting sustainable methods in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Future research should focus on the functionalization of NPs to expand their applications.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Nanotechnology, Monitoring and Management is a journal devoted to the publication of peer reviewed original research on environmental nanotechnologies, monitoring studies and management for water, soil , waste and human health samples. Critical review articles, short communications and scientific policy briefs are also welcome. The journal will include all environmental matrices except air. Nanomaterials were suggested as efficient cost-effective and environmental friendly alternative to existing treatment materials, from the standpoints of both resource conservation and environmental remediation. The journal aims to receive papers in the field of nanotechnology covering; Developments of new nanosorbents for: •Groundwater, drinking water and wastewater treatment •Remediation of contaminated sites •Assessment of novel nanotechnologies including sustainability and life cycle implications Monitoring and Management papers should cover the fields of: •Novel analytical methods applied to environmental and health samples •Fate and transport of pollutants in the environment •Case studies covering environmental monitoring and public health •Water and soil prevention and legislation •Industrial and hazardous waste- legislation, characterisation, management practices, minimization, treatment and disposal •Environmental management and remediation
