Native aquatic plants for phytoremediation of metals in outdoor experiments: implications of metal accumulation mechanisms, Soran City-Erbil, Iraq.

An excessive amount of metals is toxic to plants, animals, and humans. The present study focuses on the efficacy of three local emergent aquatic plants; L.; L.

Biosynthesis of reusable and recyclable CuO@Magnetite@Hen Bone NCs and its antioxidant and antibacterial activities: a highly stable magnetically nanocatalyst for excellent reduction of organic dyes and adsorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

For the first time, through a fast, eco-friendly and economic method, the aqueous extract of the leaf of was used to the green synthesis of the highly stable nanocomposites (NCs) as a potent antioxidant and antibacterial agent against , , and pathogenic bacteria. The biosynthesised NCs were identified using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, elemental mapping, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy and UV-vis analytical techniques. Also, the radical scavenging activity using (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method was used to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the NCs.
