Article Synopsis
- Heavy metal pollution poses serious health and environmental risks due to toxic metals being persistent in different ecosystems.
- Advances in sensor technology have enhanced real-time detection and monitoring methods, using innovative tools like immobilized chromogenic reagents, nanomaterials, perovskites, and nanozymes.
- The review delves into each technique's strengths and limitations while exploring trends in hybrid systems that utilize multiple approaches for improved effectiveness in heavy metal detection.
Wastewater contamination by organic dyes, especially Rhodamine B (RhB), possess a significant environmental challenge. This study explores a novel bio sorbent for the removal of RhB dye from contaminated water, using chitosan trisodium citrate-modified magnetic nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄@CSTSC@PANI) coated with polyaniline. The nanocomposite was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, HRTEM, SEM, BET surface analysis.
