Efficiency of 8%-and 10%-Manganese-Doped Copper (II) Oxide Nanoparticles in Remediating Water Contaminated with Pathogenic Microorganism and Heavy Metals

This study investigates the application of 8% and 10% manganese-doped copper (II) oxide nanoparticles (MDCN) for treatment of contaminated water infested with Salmonella specie, Staphylococcus aureus, lead and cadmium ions. 8% and 10% Mn-doped CuO nanoparticles were synthesized using the co-precipitation method, and their physicochemical properties were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The antibacterial activity of both nanoparticles was evaluated using a turbidimetric assay.

Aseptic Efficiency of Zinc Oxide-Carbonized Zobo (Hibiscus Sabdariffa) Waste Nanocomposites and Magnesium-Zinc Binary Oxide Nanocomposite on Bacteria as well as Removal efficiency on Cadmium and Nickel in Contaminants Water

Human activities have immensely contributed to pollutants in water bodies such as heavy metals, organic and pathogenic microorganisms. This study was aimed to synthesize and investigate the aseptic efficacy of ZnO-carbonized zobo waste nanocomposite (ZOCZWNC) and Mg-Zn binary oxide (Mg-ZnBO) nanocomposite on Salmonella typhi – gram negative organism and Staphylococcus aureus – gram positive organism as well as removal of cadmium and nickel ions from contaminated water.
