Green synthesis, characterization, and application of copper nanoparticles obtained from printed circuit boards to degrade mining surfactant by Fenton process

Nanoscale zerovalent copper (nZVC) catalyzed environmental remediation of organic and inorganic contaminants: A review

“…L −1 180 mg . L −1 6 4 h 57% ( Martins et al., 2021 ) ZrSiO 4 @NPANI Nitroanilines NaBH 4 (1 g . L −1 ) 300 μL 27.6–69 mg .…”

“… Martins et al. (2021) obtained ZVC nanoparticles via recycling process of printed circuit of lead-free computer motherboards and employed as Fenton-like catalyst in the presence of ascorbic acid for the degradation studies of ether amine surfactant used in mining floating.…”

Heterogeneous catalytic activation of peroxydisulfate toward degradation of pharmaceuticals diclofenac and ibuprofen using scrap printed circuit board

“…Thus, the utilization electronic waste materials for synthesis of efficient and low-cost catalyst to reduce environmental impact have reported as global interest in many researches. 24–26 Hydroxyl-based AOPs, degrade organic pollutants in a non-selective multi-step route that typically requires an acidic environment. However, the hydroxyl radical is non-selective, matrix components in water like common anions and natural organic materials can easily scavenge it.…”

Non-Covalent Bonding of Green Synthesized Copper Nanoparticles to Enhance Physicochemical Behavior of Sulfur-Dyed Cotton Fabric

“…16 Many earlier studies have also explored different leaf extracts where cytotoxicity studies are largely done on live cells or bacteria; however, to the best of our knowledge, no such study has been reported on the physicochemical attributes of sulfur-dyed cotton fabric. [17][18][19] Therefore, inspired by earlier studies on green synthesis of NPs from plants without using any external energy, this work aimed to study the impact of sulfur dyeing on fabric with a green synthesized CuNP deposition. In our study, we used a very low amount (almost a quarter of limit) of CuNPs to avoid any toxicity danger by exceeding the LD50 limit.…”
