Pesticides are widely used in agriculture to optimise food production. However, the movement of pesticides into water bodies negatively impacts aquatic environments. The European Union (EU) aims make systems fair, healthy and environmentally friendly through its current Farm Fork strategy. As part this strategy, EU plans reduce overall use risk chemical by 50 % 2030. attainment target may be compromised prevalence legacy arising from historical applications land, which can persist environment for several decades. policy overlooks potential challenges requirements their remediation. In review, knowledge regarding pesticide Europe, as well pathways waterways, investigated. issues pesticides, including exceedances, examined, existing emerging methods remediation, particularly discussed. fact that some detected samples, more than twenty-five years after they were prohibited, highlights need improved strategies policies aimed at targeting order meet future targets.

Anthropogenic activities generally consume non-renewable resources and release polluting substances into the environment. Concerning agriculture, cropping systems are almost based on exploiting resources. In recent years, increasing interest has been devoted to reusing agricultural, food other biomass wastes, considered relevant as they can be seen rich in compounds that find numerous applications. Biomass biorefining successfully applied opened up sustainable alternatives disposal of agroindustrial wastes. this area, an emerging, smart environmentally friendly way reduce impact waste environment is obtain innovative materials for agriculture. Therefore, part biobased strategies, use biostimulants biogenic nanoparticles crops recently proposed. Some research shown appropriate nanomaterials have potential counteract some problems plague The above improve crop performance, enhance tolerance biotic abiotic stresses, plant nutrition. light above, review aspires, first part, provide overview ideas central points characterize concept bioeconomy circular economy. second hand, most studies related valorization various types wastes leading their application agriculture presented. particular, obtained through synthesis using residues considered. conclusion, reported show biomasses represents a management valorization, enabling

Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye with biosynthesized Hematite α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles under UV-Irradiation

Desalination and Water Treatment, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 317, С. 100079 - 100079

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2024

Nanoparticles (NPs) are currently extensively utilized in various fields, such as medicine, solar energy, water treatment, and pollution detection. In this study, hematite (α-Fe2O3) NPs were synthesized using a cost-effective environmentally friendly method involving the utilization of biomass filtrate Mentha pulegium bio-reducer. The structural optical properties α-Fe2O3 investigated techniques X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) scanning electron microscopy (SEM). analysis confirmed crystalline nature NPs, with crystallite size ranging from 16.92 to 35.38 nm. exhibited absorption at 290 nm, indicating direct bandgap 3.25 3.90 eV an indirect 2.69 3.59 eV, determined spectra. FTIR revealed peak 486 cm−1, attributed vibration confirming formation nanoparticles. SEM imaging showed that green-synthesized generally hexagonal shape. efficiency biosynthesized was evaluated for rapid degradation Methylene Blue (MB) dye, achieving rate up 78% after 120 min. These findings could serve foundation development highly effective photocatalytic methods may be employed future removal hazardous dyes contaminated water.
