CS8 improves phytoremediation potential of for tannery solid waste polluted soil.

Microbes have shown potential for the bioremediation of tannery waste polluted soil. During our previous study, it was observed that heavy metal resistant CS8 augmented growth and phytoremediation capability of an ornamental plant. Objective of the present research work was to evaluate the capability of CS8 assisted plants for the phytoremediation of tannery solid waste (TSW) polluted soil.

Multifunctional ZnO-CoO @ polymer hybrid nanocoatings with controlled adsorption, photocatalytic and anti-microbial functions for polluted water systems.

Triple action pollutant responsive multi-layer hybrid nanocoatings of architecture PEI(PAA/ZnO-CoO) were constructed through ZnO-CoO binary oxide co-precipitation followed by its inclusion in multi-layer polymeric thin films using Layer-by-Layer (LbL) deposition. Characterization of the designed architecture was carried out via FTIR, XRD, UV-Vis, and Raman spectroscopic studies to evaluate the chemical nature, bonding, and crystallographic behavior of ZnO-CoO. Peaks of ZnO-CoO were recorded at 586.
