Nanotechnology for Food, Agriculture, and Environment

Abstract

Green synthesis of nanoparticles utilizing renewable bioresources has emerged as a new concept in present nanotechnology studies with potential environmental safety. The number of extensive research works indicates that dye degradation using biogenic nanoparticles was found to have potential application and could effectively support in remediation of pollution caused by toxic dyes. Future studies involving biogenic nanoparticle-mediated photocatalysis/catalysis must be engaged in open and larger systems to ensure feasibility and methods involving the pathways in detail. Nonetheless, at present scenario, studies confirm the potential benefits of biogenic nanoparticles under laboratory conditions. On-field trials for efficient effluent treatments have to be assessed and validated. Silver nano-catalysts were used against anthropogenic pollutants mainly nitroamines and azo dyes. These toxic pollutants are harmful to our environment and cause severe health problems. Various nanoparticles such as Au, Ag, Au, ZnO, SnO2, Pd and Fe have the potential in degrading toxin contaminants and their by-products, by that minimizing harmful effect from the pollutants. The green synthesis of nano-catalyst assures cost-effective and eco-friendly approach towards sustainable environmental safety.
