Manganese Ferrite–Hydroxyapatite Nanocomposite Synthesis: Biogenic Waste Remodeling for Water Decontamination

Abstract

Environmental pollution, especially water pollution caused by dyes, heavy metal ions and biological pathogens, is a root cause of various lethal diseases in human-beings and animals. Water purification materials and treatment methods are overpriced. Consequently, there is an imperative outlook observance for cheap materials for the purification of wastewaters. In order to fill up the projected demand for clean water, the present study aimed to make use of cost-effective and environmentally friendly methods to convert bone-waste from animals such as cows into novel composites for the decontamination of water. The bone-waste of slaughtered cows from the Najran region of Saudi Arabia was collected and used for the synthesis of hydroxyapatite based on the thermal method. The synthesized hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) was utilized to prepare a manganese ferrite/hydroxyapatite composite. The nanocomposite was categorized by diverse sophisticated procedures, for instance XRD, FE-SEM, EDX, TEM, UV, PL and FT-IR. This composite possesses outstanding photocatalytic activity against methylene blue dye, which is a common pollutant from industrial wastes. Moreover, the synthesised composite revealed exceptional bacteriostatic commotion towards E. coli and S. aureus bacteria, which are accountable for acute waterborne infections. The outcome of this study demonstrated that the integration of manganese ferrite into hydroxyapatite significantly intensified both antimicrobial and photocatalytic actions when compared to the virgin hydroxyapatite.

Enhanced magnetic performance and in‐vitro apatite‐forming ability of theCoFe2O4doped nano‐hydroxyapatite porous bioceramics

“…00-002-0145 with a cubic phase, as indicated by "*" in the XRD pattern. A similar result was observed in the HAP + MnFe 2 O 4 nanocomposite, of which the peaks of MnFe 2 O 4exhibited more with an increase in the additive in the HAP(Algethami et al, 2022).…”

“…Previous reports generally achieve enhanced photocatalytic and antimicrobial via the hydrothermal approach of the HAP‐MnFe 2 O 4 nanocomposites. These synthesized composite also revealed exceptional bacteriostatic commotion toward S. aureus bacteria and E. coli , which are accountable for acute waterborne infections (Algethami et al, 2022). Khezerlou et al also found that the HAP‐CaFe 2 O 4 composite could be applied as a stimuli responsive carrier for targeted drug delivery and biocompatible application (Khezerlou et al, 2021).…”

Bismuth Vanadate Decked Polyaniline Polymeric Nanocomposites: The Robust Photocatalytic Destruction of Microbial and Chemical Toxicants

“…Clean and renewable energy, through visible-light-driven photocatalysis, for environmental pollution management is of great interest [23,38]. In comparison to conservative approaches, photocatalysis demonstrates better potential in environmental remediation, owing to price, absence of detrimental derivatives, and durable oxidative competence for pollutants under conventional conditions [39][40][41]. The capacity to integrate the benefits from several facets to act in symphony to accomplish set targets makes composite materials very appealing.…”

“…Furthermore, the use of nanomaterials in the biomedical area allows researchers to solve the issues of bacterial antibiotic resistance due to their distinct antibacterial mechanisms. Several metal and metal oxide-based nanomaterials were recently fully integrated into antibacterial applications and demonstrated remarkable performances [ 43 ]. Among them, Ce- and CeO 2 -based nanomaterials garnered a lot of attention across the world.…”
