[ 1 ] - Evaluation of antioxidant potential and reduction capacity of some plant extracts in silver nanoparticle synthesis
The green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles is an active research area in nanotechnology. In the present study, antioxidant potential, total reducing capacity and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) synthetic potential of methanolic leaf extracts of seven plant species were evaluated and compared. Antioxidant capacity, expressed as µmol Trolox equivalents g-1 DW (µmol TE g-1 DW), ranged from 116.0 ...
[ 2 ] - Synthesis and coating of nanosilver by vanillic acid and its effects on Dunaliella salina Teod.
Plant phenolics have high reducing capacity which can be exploited in the synthesis of nanomaterials. In the present study, phytoreductant vanillic acid is used to produce and coat silver nanoparticles. The effects of Ag nanoparticles on the unicellular green algae D. Salina were then investigated. Under optimum pH and temperature, silver ions were reduced to silver metal by vanillic acid. The...
[ 3 ] - Effect of phenanthrene oil pollutant on physiological and biochemical characteristics of vetiver plant (Chrysopogon zizanioides)
Vetiver plant is from Poaceae family with high resistance, environmental compatibility and high ability for pollutants absorption, so can be used in environmental pollutions removal processes. Among petroleum compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are known as primary pollutants due to their stability in the environment. Phenanthrene usually has the highest concentration and most polluting...
