Abstract
Introduction of dye-laden wastewater into aquatic ecosystems and the increasing challenge of antibiotic resistance pose environmental and human health risks. Addressing these, this study aimed to evaluate the capability of green-synthesised silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as a sustainable strategy. Herein, leftover supernatant obtained post-separation of an extremophilic bacterial culture was used for AgNPs synthesis. AgNPs efficacy in decolorizing Methyl Orange (MO) and Congo Red (CR) was evaluated under different process parameters. The synthesized nanoparticles catalysed > 95 % dye decolorization efficiency at pH 11 and 10 % salt concentration when applied to 500 ppm of both dyes, individually. AgNPs demonstrated > 70 % dye decolorization when tested in modified textile wastewater having a mixture of 50 ppm MO and 50 ppm CR dyes. AgNPs also exhibited antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Hence, this study highlights the potential of AgNPs in wastewater treatment and as an effective antibacterial agent.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
