Hydrolytic degradation of methoxychlor by immobilized cellulase on LDHs@FeO nanocomposites.

In this study, we synthesized FeO using the co-precipitation method and then prepared magnetic carrier LDHs@FeO by immobilizing layered double hydroxide on FeO by in situ growth method. Cellulase was immobilized on this magnetic carrier by using glutaraldehyde as a coupling agent, which can be used for degrading Methoxychlor (MXC). The results demonstrated the maximum MXC removal efficiency of 73.

Green synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles using Allium cepa peels for degradation of Congo red direct dye: an environmental remedial approach.

Direct dyes are used in different textile operations and processings. The textile industries are disposing of unused direct dyes into the aquatic environment which is posing a serious alarming threat to aquatic lives. The current study deals with the synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles using Allium cepa peels aqueous extract.
