“…Modifications such as thermal treatment and/or doping the materials with other metals ions could enhance photocatalytic activity through limiting the recombination of electron-hole pairs and improving the absorption of light [41][42][43][44][45][46][47]. Under the current scenario of water pollution [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55], there is need to prepare and utilized catalysts active under solar light to enhanced the cost effectiveness of catalytic process [56].…”

In view of enhanced bioactivity and photocatalytic applications, the doped material has gained much attention and present study was focused on the preparation of Zn doped WO 3 (Zn-d-WO 3 ) via precipitation method. The prepared Zn-d-WO 3 was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive x-ray (EDX). The effect of Zn concentration was studied on antibacterial, antifungal and photocatalytic activities along with structural and morphological variation. The Zn-d-WO 3 was triclinic, spherical and rod shaped and particle size was decreased as the Zn concentration increased. The antimicrobial activity of Zn-d-WO 3 was evaluated against a panel of bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Pasturellamu ltocida, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus) and fungal strain (Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium notatum). The Zn-d-WO 3 showed promising antibacterial activity with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values in the range of 211-387 (μg ml −1 ), whereas the antifungal activity was less than the standard (Fluconazole), which revealed that the Zn-d-WO 3 are highly active against bacterial strains since activity was comparable with standard drug (Rifampicin). The photocatalytic activity (PCA) was evaluated by degrading methylene blue (MB) dye in an aqueous solution and dye degradation of 78% and 92% was achieved in 120 min under visible and UV irradiation, respectively. Results revealed that the Zn-d-WO 3 could possibly be used as photocatalyst for the degradation of dyes in wastewater.

“…The native plants under study showed 55.4 mg kg −1 Cd accumulation in their root and 43.5 mg kg −1 shoot, respectively. The plant species Carduus nutans and Phlomis were found to be the most effective out of eleven native tested species [ 148 ]. In a recent field study with Ganges ecotype of T. caerulescen , the role of soil geochemical factors and plant-soil interactions for Cd uptake were highlighted by hyperaccumulating plants [ 149 ].…”

Heavy metals are a noxious form of pollutants present in soil and water. A new plant-based solar energy driven technology, phytoremediation, emerges as eco-friendly and cost-effective approach to remove heavy metal from various media with the help of hyperaccumulating plant species. This review paper aims to provide information on phytoremediation and its mechanisms for heavy metal removal especially to focus on Cadmium (Cd) metal and highlights the role of various hyperaccumulating plants for Cd metal remediation in soil and water. It complies various field case studies which play the important role in understanding the Cd removal through various plants. Additionally, it pinpoints several sources and the effects of Cd and other technologies used for Cd remediation. This paper provides the recent development in mechanisms of Cd hyperaccumulation by different plants, in order to motivate further research in this field.

“…Before treatment, the death rate of RBC was more than 85% and after treatment, it reduces to <20%, which revealed that up to 75% toxic agents were degraded in wastewater as a result of efficient treatment using ZVI. Hence, it was revealed that the AOP was an efficient method for the treatment of wastewater versus other wastewater methods [80][81][82][83][84][85][86].…”

In the present investigation, Zero valent iron (ZVI) was synthesized using ferrous sulfate and borohydrate in the presence of EDTA and characterized by x-ray Diffraction (XRD), Energydispersive x-ray (EDX) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques. The prepared ZVI catalytic activity was evaluated by degrading Acid Red 1 (AR1) and Acid Green 25 (AG25) dyes. The process variables such as pH, initial dye concentration, ZVI dose, contact time, hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and temperature were optimized for maximum dye degradation. AG25 removal was 98% at pH 4, ZVI dose 0.2 g l −1 , initial dye concentration 50 mg l −1 , 90 min reaction time and 8 mM H 2 O 2 concentration, whereas pH 2, ZVI dose 0.1 g l −1 , 50 mg l −1 initial dye concentration, 8 mM H 2 O 2 and 90 min were found to be optimum for AR1 maximum degradation of 91.60%. Behnajady-Modirshahla-Ghanbery kinetic model and thermodynamic study revealed the spontaneity and endothermic nature of the process. Results revealed that ZVI has potential to degrade the dyes and could possibly be used for the degradation of dyes in wastewater.
