Abstract
Increasing environmental pollution crisis due to toxic pollutants such as heavy metals, synthetic dyes, and hazardous waste necessitates the urgent establishment of environmentally benign and sustainable remediation technologies. This review summarizes recent advances in the biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles (BMNPs) application of green pathways involving biological agents such as plants, bacteria, fungi, and enzymes. These biogenic nanoparticles have superior physicochemical characteristics such as high surface area, stability, reactivity, and catalytic activity, making them extremely effective in contaminant degradation, adsorption, and sequestration. We elucidate the basic principles and mechanisms of…
