Metal Nanoparticles and Nano-Filters for the Disposal of Hospital Waste: A Review

Abstract

The waste of multiple residually harmful hospital pharmaceutical materials such as antibiotics, chemicals, hormonal waste, and residual particles from different types of medicine used in anticonvulsants and antipyretics is one of the most serious health issues confronting health workers today. During the past decades, many efforts were made to remove the effects of this environmental pollution. Efficient, stable, fast, and environmentally friendly methods use nanoparticles such as nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes, and nanofilters to reduce the toxicity and side effects of the waste even if they are present at a low concentration. This review describes the use of the nanomaterials, the effects of their concentration, the investigation of their application, and the effectiveness on hospital waste removal.

Rifampicin Nanopatricles: Thermodynamic Properties in KCl Electrolyte Using Cyclic Voltammetry

“…Table 3 illustrates all thermodynamic values of ΔH*, ΔG*, and ΔS* for both the oxidation and reduction process of I,II oxidation peaks and I,II reduction peaks in activation stat for RF NPs in KCl solution, the enthalpy values of oxidation-reduction current peaks have the same positive values of the oxidation peak (13.283 and 13.481 kJ•mol -1 •K -1 ) and reduction peaks (9.261 and 9.907 kJ•mol -1 •K -1 ), although, the entropy values of oxidation and reduction peaks have the same negative values with the correct reaction, while the gibes energy values have different behavior in both oxidation-reduction reaction of RF NPs [24][25][26][27].…”
