The aim is to compare the catalytic properties of green and commercial gold nanoparticles in reducing toxic organic pollutants.
Comparison of catalytic efficacy of green and commercial gold nanoparticles
Target organic pollutants: methyl orange and 4-nitrophenol
Environmental impact assessment
Green gold nanoparticles demonstrate superior catalytic activity in reducing organic pollutants.
Significant reduction of methyl orange and 4-nitrophenol levels observed.
Results indicate a potential for safer environmental remediation.
Abstract
The presence of toxic organic pollutants such as methyl orange (MO) and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in industrial effluents poses significant environmental and public health risks.
