“…The TEM image of CS-PAC nanoparticles showed a different contrast, with the brighter portions denoting CS nanoparticles (dots red circle) that range in size from 12.8 to 26.7 nm, while the darker areas depict PAC over CS surface with a size of around 42.8 nm. The TEM images of the composite con rmed that the incorporation of CS and PAC resulted in the formation of the nanocomposite (Motaghi et al 2022;Hartoyo et al 2022).…”

Clarification of sugar solutions without side-contamination (e.g. residual sulfur) during sugar manufacturing is still the main challenge in sugar factories. Herein, chitosan-cellulose (CS-CEL) and chitosan-powder activated carbon (CS-PAC) nanocomposites were synthesized to be used as green biodegradable clarifying agents in sugar refining process. PAC was obtained via physical activation procedures using water vapor at 950°C on carbonized sugarcane bagasse waste, then CS-PAC was combined using a cross-linking agent. Zeta potential analysis gave remarkable results for CS-CEL and CS-PAC with maximum values (+) 57.73 mV and (+) 41.1 mV, respectively, with improvement in color removal % up to 45.5% using CS-PAC and 45.1% using CS-CEL with more than 25% compared to traditional clarification process. Also, turbidity decreased using CS-CEL and CS-PAC from 167 IU to 2 IU. Overall, we found that CS-CEL and CS-PAC nanocomposites have considerable efficiency in sugar refining process as eco-friendly bio-sorbents and flocculating materials.

“…To better comprehend the plant's biochemical reaction to chitosan nanofertilization. Sharma et al [94] applied a chitosan nanofertilizer for seed treatment and as a foliar spray and greatly boosted plant-growth metrics in maize plants including water, bulk chitosan, sulfuric acid, and copper sulfate. These findings demonstrated that a nanofertilizer at concentrations ranging from 0.01% to 0.16% has a stimulatory effect on all measures of plant development, including plant height, root length, root number, and stem diameter.…”

Green chemistry and nanobiotechnology have great potential for generating new and significant products that are favorable to the environment, industry, and consumers. The nanoforms of metals and nanocomposites are more effective and efficient agents than their bulkier counterparts because of their distinctive physical, chemical, and optical properties. Green technology is a rapidly growing scientific field that has recently received attention due to its many applications. Different nanoparticle dimensions, sizes, and bioactivities will develop as a consequence of changes in the biomaterials employed for synthesis. The existing understanding of several green synthesis methods, that depend on different plant components and microorganisms for the production of nanoparticles, is summarized in the current review. Employing these materials minimizes synthesis costs while minimizing the use of hazardous chemicals and promoting “biosynthesis.” To produce metal nanoparticles efficiently, bio-reduction is influenced by the abundance of essential enzymes, proteins, and biomolecules. Rapid biosynthetic regeneration makes this characteristic sufficient for their employment in a range of situations. In this review, we explore the biosynthesis of nanomaterials and their potential in sustainable agriculture. Biosynthesized nanofertilizers, or bionanofertilizers, are a revolutionary new class of fertilizer that has been developed with the help of nanotechnology. These fertilizers offer many advantages over traditional fertilization methods and can be used to increase crop yields while reducing the environmental impact of fertilizers. Bionanofertilizer are an inexpensive way to increase plant growth and production, and to improve the use of nutrients by plants and the health of the soil. According to our survey, nanotechnology presents a wide range of prospects by offering a cutting-edge and environmentally friendly alternative in the agricultural sector.
