Silica has become a popular material due to its high abundance and many advantages in various fields. This material can be produced synthetically and extracted from nature with resultant advantages in the application of green production. Therefore, this article deals with the form of silica extracted from quartz sand, leaves, and agricultural wastes found in nature. The extraction process from various sources would be described using thermal, biological, and chemical methods. This review also highlights the potential application of silica as a photo catalytic antibacterial-supporting material and discusses its role in increasing the effectiveness of the process. The discussion was continued with research on this procedure, where synthetic auxiliary materials were compared to the extracted silica. Furthermore, results obtained indicated that the extracted material had very good potential as a photocatalyst adjunct in its application in the antibacterial field.

“…Nearly all agricultural practices and production may be touched or penetrated by the nanotechnological sciences. So, several agroproducts could not be only fabricated using nanomaterials but also a huge amount of agrowastes can be managed using these nanomaterials (Dwivedi et al 2016;Panpatte et al 2016;Peters et al 2016;Adebisi et al 2017;Patil et al 2017). Hence, great challenges have been created seeking for the sustainability of agro-production including soil security, water, security, energy security, food security, reduction of poverty and improvement of human public health (Ditta et al 2015;Gupta and Verma 2015;Bello et al 2016;De La Cueva Bueno et al 2017;Nuhoff-Isakhanyan et al 2017).…”

“…Among the solutions is the nanotechnology approach to help in the smooth transition to alternative and renewable energy sources (Bello et al 2016;Mekki et al 2016;García et al 2016;Adebisi et al 2017) through using the nanotechnology in transesterification, pyrolysis, gasification, hydrogenation and the reforming of biomass (Fryxell and Cao 2007;Galadima and Muraza 2015). Furthermore, the application of microorganisms or enzymes (biocatalysts) has gained increasing attention as a possible means to decrease the environmental industrial wastes as well as to convert these wastes to potentially valuable products such as bioplastics and biopolymers (Amulya et al 2016;Emadian et al 2017).…”

“…The management of agro-wastes using nanoparticles is a crucial issue worldwide. This issue has at least two dimensions; the first includes the conversion of the agro-wastes into energy (Nanda et al 2016;Adebisi et al 2017) and the second represents using these agrowastes in removing different types of pollutants from water (Bello et al 2014;Bello et al 2016). Moreover, the agro-wastes could be handled as materials for biomass production or a renewable source as well as recyclable or biodegradable products.…”

T HE GLOBAL agricultural production suffers from many problems and challenges including climate change, natural resources depletion, environmental pollution, soil degradation, etc. Hence, the global security of this vital sector definitely will be threaten including water security, soil security, energy security, food security, etc. Day by day, several attempts already have been conducted in seeking of the humanity for suitable and sustainable solutions to overcome these previous problems. Nanotechnology was and still one of the most important solutions, which will help us to overcome these problems. So, several nanomaterials have been successfully used in many agro-production fields including nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, nanoremediation, nanobiosensors as well as using of nanoparticles in agri-food production. These nanomaterials can help the agro-production to exploit the natural resources in more sustainable manner and to minimize the agro-wastes. Therefore, regulations for more safety in nanomaterials utilization for agro-production should be starting from the handling for seed germination till the handling for postharvest of agricultural products. Several investigations have been proved the importance of nanomaterials in global securities, the agro-production through the nano-agro-chemicals, management of the agro-wastes, etc. Therefore, this review will highlight new insights and novel approaches for using nanomaterials for sustainable agro-productivity. It will also include the impact of nanomaterials on the agro-environement and the enhanced productivity in frame of sustainability.

“…found that direct pyrolysis of RH can produce SiC, which has many applications because of the low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), oxidation resistance and excellent abrasion / wear resistance. A review by Adebisi et al 55. highlights the importance of using agriculture wastes to produce nanosized solar grade silicon, which involves lower cost than conventional methods.…”

Over the past century, the world's population has increased greatly. The growth in the population has increased the global food demand, so the food sector has increased its production. As a result of the increased production and consumption, a huge amount of agro-food waste is being generated yearly. Rice husk, wheat straw, sugarcane bagasse, corn husk, peanut shell, eggshell, are just a few examples of agro-food wastes. As these agro-food wastes and their by-products are left unused and unattended, their amount is increasing globally. It is imperative to find ways to put these wastes to environmentally viable use. These wastes find direct uses in biofertilizers, mud houses, animal feed, biofuel, and heat generation in small-scale industries, etc. After heat generation, ashes are considered as a secondary by-product, which can be used as a sustainable and renewable resource for synthesizing value-added products for various applications. This article presents a review of the traditional and advanced methods of utilizing these wastes in household applications, animal feed, fertilizers, fuel generation, pyrolysis, and for the removal of toxic metals from polluted water. These secondary resources can also be used in construction materials and for the synthesis of glasses and glass-ceramics, which can be used in bioengineering, optical, and dielectric materials. Agrofood wastes can be used as resource materials to develop modern materials with better properties instead of using minerals. This not only reduces the environment-and management-related problem of the wastes but also provides a sustainable alternative way to produce cost-effective value-added materials for the benefit of society.
