“…Modifications such as thermal treatment and/or doping the materials with other metals ions could enhance photocatalytic activity through limiting the recombination of electron-hole pairs and improving the absorption of light [41][42][43][44][45][46][47]. Under the current scenario of water pollution [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55], there is need to prepare and utilized catalysts active under solar light to enhanced the cost effectiveness of catalytic process [56].…”

In view of enhanced bioactivity and photocatalytic applications, the doped material has gained much attention and present study was focused on the preparation of Zn doped WO 3 (Zn-d-WO 3 ) via precipitation method. The prepared Zn-d-WO 3 was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive x-ray (EDX). The effect of Zn concentration was studied on antibacterial, antifungal and photocatalytic activities along with structural and morphological variation. The Zn-d-WO 3 was triclinic, spherical and rod shaped and particle size was decreased as the Zn concentration increased. The antimicrobial activity of Zn-d-WO 3 was evaluated against a panel of bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Pasturellamu ltocida, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus) and fungal strain (Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium notatum). The Zn-d-WO 3 showed promising antibacterial activity with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values in the range of 211-387 (μg ml −1 ), whereas the antifungal activity was less than the standard (Fluconazole), which revealed that the Zn-d-WO 3 are highly active against bacterial strains since activity was comparable with standard drug (Rifampicin). The photocatalytic activity (PCA) was evaluated by degrading methylene blue (MB) dye in an aqueous solution and dye degradation of 78% and 92% was achieved in 120 min under visible and UV irradiation, respectively. Results revealed that the Zn-d-WO 3 could possibly be used as photocatalyst for the degradation of dyes in wastewater.

“…The reductions in COD, TOC and BOD values after treatment of textile real wastewater revealed that immobilized ZnO over PUF is efficient to treat the wastewater containing textile dyes, which are otherwise difficult to treat. Under the current scenario of environmental pollution [6,[14][15][16][57][58][59][60][61][62], there is need to develop and utilize efficient materials that are active under solar light and ZnO/PUF proved to be highly efficient since the activity was considerable under solar light that could possibly be used for the degradation of dyes in textile wastewater [63][64][65][66][67].…”

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were immobilized on polyurethane foam (PUF) and employed for the degradation of Acid black 1 dye (AB1). The ZnO/PUF was characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) techniques. Process variables i.e., dye concentration, pH, concentration of H 2 O 2 , irradiation time were optimized for maximum degradation of dye. ZnO/PUF showed promising efficiency for the degradation of AB1 dye and up to 86% and 65% dye degradation was achieved under UV and solar light irradiation at neutral pH, 4% H 2 O 2 , 240 min/sunlight and 75 min/UV irradiation time using 40 mg l −1 dye initial concentration. The optimum conditions were applied for the treatment of textile wastewater and biological oxygen demand (BOD) and total organic carbon (TOC) were reduced up to 70% and 80%, respectively. In view of promising photocatalytic activity (PCA), ZnO/PUF could possibly be used for the treatment of wastewater contains dyes.

“…Remarkable change in physical properties of the modi ed GG1, GG2, and GG3 was observed, which was promising with regards to their applications as binder, water barrier, and emulsi er in industrial formulations. Also, the method adopted for the synthesis is an ecobenign one in comparison with other chemical synthesis techniques and applicable in the modi cation of other biomolecules for di erent applications; therefore, it is the best choice to resolve the pollution issue [51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60] among the chemical methods used for the synthesis of organic compounds.…”

Several methods have been developed for the modi cation of natural polymers.Most of the reported methods are expensive, since the chemical reactions are carried out using chemical additives along with stabilizers. Microwave-assisted synthetic strategies have gained signi cant importance in the synthesis of materials due to their eco-friendly nature. Guar gum is one of the important naturally occurring non-ionic polysaccharides, which has incredible industrial and commercial applications. A rapid method for protecting the hydroxyl group in sterically hindered gum was developed by Microwave-Assisted Synthesis (MAS). An e cient synthesis of di erent novel guar gum derivatives such as acetate, butyrate, and propionate (GG1-GG3) was performed. Signi cantly higher yield of ester was achieved after 15 min at 600 W using iodine as a reaction promoter. Gum ester formation was carried out at various concentrations for di erent reaction intervals. The synthesized products were characterized using FTIR, NMR, and SEM techniques. The e ciency of the adopted synthesis method was evaluated based on swelling ratio, gelation ability, and solubility. The study indicated that the guar gum could be modi ed using acid anhydride under microwave irradiation with enhanced physic-chemical properties. Moreover, microwave modi cation is an eco-friendly approach.
