Abstract
Landfill leachate, a complex wastewater generated from municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills, presents significant environmental challenges due to its high organic content and toxic pollutants. This study proposes a sustainable solution by employing the green synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) using durian (Durio zibethinus) husk extract, which serves as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent. This approach transforms agricultural waste into a valuable resource for environmental remediation. The synthesis was carried out under mild conditions, avoiding harmful chemicals and reducing energy consumption. The CuO NPs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution…
