Microbial metal reduction can be a strategy for remediation of metal contaminations and wastes. Bacteria are capable of mobilization and immobilization of metals and in some cases, the bacteria which can reduce metal ions show the ability to precipitate metals at nanometer scale. Biosynthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) using bacteria has emerged as rapidly developing research area in green nanotech...

The purpose of this study was to expand a trouble free biological method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the leaves extract of Rosa ChinensisL. to act as reducing and stabilizing agent. Water soluble phytochemicals played a vital role for the reduction silver ions into silver nanoparticles. The leaves extract was exposed to silver ions and the resultant biosynthesized Ag...

Here we demonstrate a single-pot heating approach for controllable synthesis of colloidal zinc oxide nanocrystals from zinc acetylacetonate. Such single-pot heating approaches are inherently amenable to large scale production. We have systematically studied the crystallization process, investigating the growth of nanocrystals and the influence of ligands on the morphology and luminescence of Zn...

Objective(s): Nowadays, nanoparticles bio production, considering their performance in medicine and biological science, is increasing. Green synthesis of metal nanoparticles using organisms has emerged as a nontoxic and ecofriendly method for synthesis of metal nanoparticles The objectives of this study were the production of silver nanoparticles using Avena sativa L. ...

This study was conducted to examine the synthesis of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles, using the hydroethanolic extract of Citrus aurantium flowers, through the application of FeCl2.4H2O, FeCl3.6H2O, and Zinc Acetate. The present piece of work is regarded important especially when ascertaining the potential of a widely distributed underused mangrove associated plant, C. aurantium, as used in the folk medi...

There is a huge demand of silver nanoparticles in the global market due to their special properties and applications in different fields such as nanomedicine , dentists , nanocatalysis, nanoelectronics, textile field, waste water treatment.The major cons of top down and Bottom up methods are the synthesis processes are highly costly, time consuming and many harmful chemicals are used. To reduce...

The Commission's Green Paper on Bio-preparedness represents an important signal that the European Commission is actively involved in, working on issues related to bio-preparedness across all Member States and the international Community. In 2006, the Commission held two seminars on European Bio Preparedness and a workshop on Transport and Traceability of Bio materials. The results and recommend...

phospho sulfonic acid (psa) synthesized as an environmentally safe and efficient solid acid catalyst, and it used for the synthesis of several 2-disubstituted benzimidazoles, 2-substituted benzoxazoles, and 2-substituted quinoxalines in ethanol as a green solvent at ambient temperature is described. (i) a very simple, green and efficient procedure for the synthesis of benzimidazole and also benz...
