Biogenic nanoparticles-the future of eco-friendly wastewater treatment: a review
Indexed incrossrefdoaj
Abstract
Abstract Biogenic nanoparticles produced using plant and microbial sources have emerged as low cost and environmentally benign alternatives for wastewater treatment applications. This review examines the underlying mechanisms of plant and microbe mediated nanoparticle synthesis, highlighting how naturally occurring biomolecules act as reducing, stabilizing, and capping agents to regulate nanoparticle surface characteristics. The discussion outlines key practical advantageous, including lower energy inputs, avoidance of hazardous reducing agents, use of renewable biological resources, and the potential for in situ or decentralized production, while also noting constraints like variability in plant extracts or…
