{"title":"Enhancing Disinfection Efficiency of Wastewater Treatment Plant Effluent: The Role of ZnO Nanoparticles in Ultrasonic and UV-C Processes","authors":"Fatemeh Mortezazadeh, Fatemeh Nejatzadeh, Masoumeh Eslamifar, Fathollah Gholami-Borujeni","doi":"10.1142/s179329202350100x","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1142/s179329202350100x","url":null,"abstract":"Ultrasonic (US) and UV-C disinfection technologies have been successfully used in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) for disinfection purposes. The US technology is typically used as a pre-treatment step to break down larger particles and make them more susceptible to disinfection. The UV-C technology is commonly used as a final disinfection step in many WWTPs. The study aimed to assess the potential of using Zinc Oxide (ZnO) Nanoparticles (NPs) to improve the effectiveness of UV-C and US disinfection methods in treating wastewater effluent, offering a more comprehensive solution to wastewater treatment. In this experimental study, a Laboratory US Bath (40[Formula: see text]kHz) and a UV-C lamp (16[Formula: see text]W) were used. In order to investigate the effectiveness of ZnO NPs in the reduction of microbial load, 5[Formula: see text]mg/L of ZnO NPs was added to the effluent samples. Then, samples were examined for Total Coliform (TC) and Fecal Coliform (FC) reduction by the standard MPN/100[Formula: see text]mL test. The Chick‘s law was used to calculate the efficiency of microbial load. The relationship between variables was determined by regression analysis using Excel and SPSS-ver 21 software. In this study, the samples were examined in three groups: Samples that were only exposed to sonication or received UV-C radiation with Turbidity of 18 NTU (Group A) and Turbidity of 5 NTU (Group B), and Samples that received 5[Formula: see text]mg/L of ZnO NPs (Group C). By increasing the time from 0.5[Formula: see text]min to 10[Formula: see text]min in the presence of UV-C, the amount of microbial population decreased, and 2[Formula: see text]min was considered the optimal time. The maximum removal efficiencies by US for TC were 74.07,77.7, 85.1% (40[Formula: see text]C) and 92.5,100, and 100% (60[Formula: see text]C) in group A (in 30[Formula: see text]min sonication), 85.7, 85.7, 100% (40[Formula: see text]C), respectively, and were 100% in other groups (B and C), respectively. The maximum removal efficiencies by US for FC were 76.4%, 88.2%, and 100% (40[Formula: see text]C) and 88.2%, 100%, and 100% (60[Formula: see text]C) in group A (in 30[Formula: see text]min sonication), respectively, and were 100% in other groups (B and C). In this study, an important increase in the disinfection ability of ZnO NPs has been observed in the presence of US and UV-C. So, the ZnO NPs/UV-C and ZnO NPs/US processes are valuable alternatives to conventional disinfection processes by over 90% improvement of disinfection efficiency.","PeriodicalId":18978,"journal":{"name":"Nano","volume":"74 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135088196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we report the synthesis of PEG-coated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles and evaluate their suitability for magnetic hyperthermia applications. Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles were synthesized by the chemical coprecipitation method, which are coated with polyethylene glycol (PEG). PEG-coated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Synthesized nanoparticles possess inverse-spinel structural with a crystallite size of 9.1[Formula: see text]nm. From the M-H hysteresis loops, it was confirmed that the synthesized Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles were superparamagnetic. The physical size of bare Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles, as determined from the HR-TEM, is [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]nm, and the corresponding hydrodynamic size of PEG-coated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles is [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]nm. Magnetic hyperthermia efficiency of PEG-coated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles was determined as a function of magnetic field frequency (162–935.6[Formula: see text]kHz), field strength (5–12[Formula: see text]mT) and nanoparticle concentration (1–100[Formula: see text]mg/mL). Temperature rise in an aqueous dispersion of PEG-coated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles was measured for 20[Formula: see text]min. The specific loss power (SLP) was calculated by the corrected slope method. SLP values of PEG-coated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles increase with magnetic field frequency and field strength and decrease with nanoparticle concentration. The optimum hyperthermia performance of PEG-coated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles was observed for 935.6[Formula: see text]kHz frequency, 10[Formula: see text]mT field strength and 25[Formula: see text]mg/mL concentration. Under these conditions, the measured SLP of PEG-coated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles was 4.43[Formula: see text]W/g. These results show that the synthesized PEG-coated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles could be a potential candidate for magnetic hyperthermia treatment of cancer.","PeriodicalId":18978,"journal":{"name":"Nano","volume":" 25","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135293665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we report the facile, eco-benign and economically advantageous route for producing iron oxide nanoparticles employing triphala extract (TR-IONPs). MTT assay was used to assess the in-vitro anticancer effectiveness of TR-IONPs against the multi-drug-resistant breast malignant cell (MCF-7). TR-IONPs revealed a concentration-dependent effect on MCF-7 viability, with an IC[Formula: see text] value of 6.8[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]g/mL for a 24-h treatment. Thus, the cytotoxic ability was established at a much lower half-maximal inhibitory concentration. As the TR-IONPs did not show remarkable toxicity toward L929 fibroblast cells, they can be trusted as a biocompatible material for real-time biomedical applications. Apoptotic death of MCF-7 cells caused by the release of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) was affirmed by DCFH-DA staining, DNA fragmentation assay and cell cycle analysis. Through Kirby–Bauer Disk Diffusion assay, TR-IONPs were found to hold potent antibacterial efficacy against S. aureus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa bacterial pathogens. With the demonstrated favorable results, TR-IONPs may serve as a reliable multi-functional material in the field of nanobiotechnology.","PeriodicalId":18978,"journal":{"name":"Nano","volume":"63 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135874242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
