Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the removal of lead(ii) ions using zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper(ii) oxide (CuO) nanoparticles made from plant extracts, focusing on the influence of plant collection timing on polyphenol content.
  • Various techniques such as scanning electron microscopy and X-ray analysis were used to examine the properties of these nanoparticles.
  • Results indicated that the sorption of lead ions follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic mechanism, with ZnO and CuO demonstrating high sorption capacities of 163.6 and 153.8 mg/g, respectively.

Nanoporous track-etched membranes (TeMs) are highly versatile materials that have shown promise in various applications such as filtration, separation, adsorption, and catalysis due to their mechanical integrity and high surface area. The performance of TeMs as catalysts for removing toxic pollutants is greatly influenced by the pore diameter, density, and functionalization of the nanochannels. In this study, the synthesis of functionalized poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) TeMs with Pd nanoparticles (NPs) as catalysts for the photodegradation of the antibiotic metronidazole (MTZ) was methodically investigated and their catalytic activity under UV irradiation was compared.
