“…However, nanoparticles have a tendency to agglomerate [51,52], thus decreasing the beneficial effects of their size and reducing the active sites for reactions. Another problem related to the use of nZVI is the ultimate fate of those nanoparticles in the case of accidental release into the natural environment [53]. There is growing concern that nanomaterials may have serious toxic effects on several species of the aquatic and terrestrial biota.…”

Nano zerovalent iron (nZVI), produced from green tea extracts, was incorporated in a cation exchange resin (R-nFe) to investigate its performance regarding the removal of four non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): ibuprofen (IBU), naproxen (NPX), ketoprofen (KTP) and diclofenac (DCF). The effect of contact time, NaCl pretreatment, pH, R-nFe dose, the role of the supporting material, the initial concentration of pollutants, and the combined effect of nZVI with oxidative reagents was assessed through a series of batch experiments. According to the results, the best removal efficiencies obtained for DCF and KTP were 86% and 73%, respectively, at 48 h of contact time with NaCl pretreated R-nFe at a dose of 15 g L−1 and a pH of 4. The maximum removal efficiency for NPX was 90% for a contact time of 60 min with PS 1 mM and a pH of 3, which was quite similar to the experiment with a greater contact time of 48 h without PS addition. The maximum IBU removal was 70%; this was reached at pH 3, with a contact time of 30 min and R-nFe 15 g L−1. To the authors’ best knowledge, this is the first study investigating the utilization of nZVI, produced from leaf extracts and incorporated into a cationic exchange resin, to remove NSAIDs from water.

“…Thus, the RFX with the molecular formula (C 43 H 51 N 3 O 11 ), and chemical structure in Scheme 1 is as a widely used antibiotic for treating infectious diseases, a rapid, sensitive, and selective assay is necessary for its administration [ 4 ]. In recent years, material scientists have prioritised environmentally sustainable methods for synthesising nanoscale materials [ 5 ]. The synthesis of rifaximin nanoparticles, particularly using various rifaximin solutions, is an emerging field in environmentally friendly chemistry that is believed to be simple, cost-effective, and non-toxic [ 6 ].…”

“…In such phenomena, flexible bio-composite fabrication from discarded buffing dust could be a promising solution of waste minimization. Because, bio-composites are environmental friendly, and direct application of such materials can be considered as a sustainable approach in long run [29]. Thus, considering both tannery waste management as well as the commercial viability, utilization of ZnONPs impregnated waste buffing dust along with natural rubber latex (NRL) based composites could be an effective strategy to attain long-term sustainability.…”

The objective of this research is to use zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) combined with buffing dust to develop footwear insole with antibacterial properties. In addition, performance analysis (mechanical, chemical, and thermal) of fabricated insole is also the integral consideration of this study. With such aim, antimicrobial composite insoles were fabricated via simple solution mixing of ZnONPs and natural rubber latex (NRL) binder along with buffing dusts with optimum ratio. Then, removal of water was considered by mechanical pressing followed by natural drying in sunlight. The chemical bonding and material interactions of composites were investigated using FT-IR and XRD, respectively. TGA analysis confirmed the thermal stability of composites, while SEM and OTR are elucidating the surface morphology and gas barrier properties, respectively. Tensile strength, elongation, flexibility, hardness, and water absorption of prepared composite with optimum NRL content were increased by 39, 31, 30, 38, and 28%, respectively. Finally, 78% antimicrobial performance was achieved against the suspension of ( 1.5 × 10 6 CFU / mL ) bacterial strain Staphylococcus aureus.
