“…Additionally, the catalytic performance of metal oxides depends not only on their composition but also on their structure, phase, shape, size, particle size, and the particle agglomeration of the dispersed sample. Advancement in industrialization, leading to toxic by-products, has altered the environment by unleashing a distinct variety of toxins and emissions of hazardous gases into the atmosphere [1][2][3]. Therefore, conventionally implemented strategies such as immobilization, biological and chemical oxidation, and incineration have been largely employed to treat several types of organic and toxic industrial contaminants [4,5].…”

The symmetric nano morphologies, asymmetric electronic structures, and as well as the heterojunctions of the developed photocatalytic systems perform a vital role in promoting light absorption, separation of electron and hole pairs and charge carrier transport to the surface when exposed to near-infrared (NIR) light. In this present work, we synthesized hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) by a facile hydrothermal method and studied their structural, optical, and photocatalytic properties. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the rhombohedral phase of the α-Fe2O3 NPs, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was used to investigate symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibrations of the functional groups on the surface of the catalysts. The optical bandgap energy was estimated to be 2.25 eV using UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images indicated sphere like morphology. The oxidation and reduction properties of α-Fe2O3 NPs were analyzed by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The α-Fe2O3 NPs were utilized for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye under natural sunlight. The experimental results demonstrate that the degradation efficiency was achieved at 33% in 2 h, and the pseudo-first-order rate constant was calculated to be 0.0033 min−1.

Green surfactants–based bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the environment is a promising technique. Rhamnolipids are a class of glycolipid surfactants that belong to the category of green surfactants and have distinctive characteristics. PAHs, which are hazardous toxins, are commonly found in polluted soil, water, and air. PAHs are difficult to break down because they are resistant to degradation and typical methods of cleaning up pollution are not very effective. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the capacity of specific microorganism species to produce rhamnolipids, which can enhance the process of PAH biodegradation. Rhamnolipids can dissolve and enhance the accessibility of PAHs, thereby boosting the effectiveness of microorganisms that break down PAHs. The presence of rhamnolipids can be attributed to the equilibrium between hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, as well as their positive charge. Rhamnolipids have biosurfactant properties, making them beneficial for the bioremediation of polluted soil and water. In general, rhamnolipids have proven to be a highly efficient means of removing PAHs from the environment, providing a viable alternative to conventional chemical approaches. Nevertheless, additional investigation is necessary to gain a deeper comprehension of the fundamental principles behind rhamnolipid‐assisted bioremediation and to enhance its implementation in larger real‐world scenarios. This study provides a concise overview of recent research on the utilization of rhamnolipids for bioremediating PAHs in the environment. The article covers the underlying mechanisms, the specific microorganisms employed, and the overall efficacy of the bioremediation process. The utilization of rhamnolipids as a bioremediation tool is examined, along with the difficulties and restrictions of its implementation. The review's conclusion is followed by a discussion on the future directions for studying this topic.
