Abstract:Massive accumulation of heavy metals in agricultural
land as a
result of enhanced levels of toxicity in the soil is an emerging global
concern. Among various metals, zinc contamination has severe effects
on plant and human health through the food chain. To remove such toxicity,
a nanotechnological neutralizer, cobalt oxide nanoballs (Co3O4 Nbs) were synthesized by using the extract of Cordia myxa. The Co3O4 Nbs
were well characterized via UV-vis spectrophotometry, scanning electron
microscopy, and X-ray diffra… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
