Topic:
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
Chromate is a pollutant often found in groundwater and considered a serious threat for humans and ecosystem. Iron nanoparticles produced by green tea polyphenols (GT-nZVI) is a powerful reductant, appropriate for the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). GT-nZVI suspension was initially conceived ideal...Read more

Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
The potential for application of bioreduction of Cr(VI) as an alternative to chemical remediation strategy has been highlighted in several works of literature. The objective of the study was to determine Cr(VI) reduction capacity of nanoparticles-encapsulated Tamarindus indica methanolic leaves...Read more
