The photo-catalytic decomposition of rhodamine B was examined in aqueous nano TiO2 particles dispersions to assess effects of the microwave radiation assisted photo-catalytic process driven by UV radiation. The results of photo-catalytic degradation of rhodamine B showed that the decomposition rate increased with the microwave intensity, UV intensity, TiO2 particle dosages and the circulating fluid velocity. Addition of oxygen gas in the photo-catalytic degradation of rhodamine B increased the reaction rate. The effect of addition of H2O2 was not significant when photo-catalysis was used without additional microwave radiation or when microwave was irradiated without the use of photo-catalysts. When H2O2 was added under simultaneous use of photo-catalysis and microwave irradiation, however, considerably higher degradation reaction rates were observed. This study demonstrates that the microwave irradiation can play a very important role in photo-catalytic degradation.

Ensuring everyone enjoys healthy lifestyles and well-being at all ages, Progress has been made in increasing access to clean water and sanitation facilities and reducing the spread of epidemics and diseases. The synthesis of nano-particles (NPs) by using microalgae is a new nanobiotechnology due to the use of the biomolecular (corona) of microalgae as a capping and reducing agent for NP creation. This investigation explores the capacity of a distinct indigenous microalgal strain to synthesize silver nano-particles (AgNPs), as well as its effectiveness against multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria and its ability to degrade Azo dye (Methyl Red) in wastewater.

Article Synopsis
- Nano-materials, particularly green synthesized silver nanoparticles (SC-AgNPs) from Smilax Chenensis, show promise in various biomedical applications due to their antibacterial, antioxidant, and anticancer properties.
- Characterization techniques like UV-visible spectroscopy and TEM indicate SC-AgNPs are stable, roughly spherical, and poly-dispersed with an average size of 45.6 nm.
- SC-AgNPs exhibit strong antibacterial activity against E.coli and S.aureus, enhanced in combination with antibiotics, making them a potential alternative for treating antibiotic-resistant bacteria, along with significant antioxidant and anticancer activities.

One of the best ways to remove organic dyes based contaminant from water resources and industrial waste water is the sunlight driven photo-catalytic degradation method. The theme of the present investigation is the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye using economically produced CuSe nanoparticles (NPs) catalyst under solar radiations. The CuSe NPs crystallized in the cubic structural phase with an average crystallite size around 19 nm.

The focus of the current work is the study of the effect of the photo-catalytic activity of ZnO nanoparticles. The photocatalytic destruction of methylene blue dye, a common water contaminant, was used to assess the photocatalytic efficiency of the ZnO nanoparticles from its aqueous solution by using ZnO nanoparticles thin film under UV light and laser irradiation. Sol-gel methods prepared ZnO nanoparticle thin films.
