Fabrication of biocompatible nanomaterials for waste water treatment

Abstract

The current thesis work focuses on developing sustainably produced carbon-based nanostructured materials, particularly carbon dots and activated carbon nanofibers. The detailed characterization of developed particles has been investigated using various high-end advanced techniques. The biological properties of the developed carbon dots have also been thoroughly studied using multi-assay quantitative approach to determine their non-toxic and biocompatible characteristics. The application of developed particles has been utilized for the detection of hazardous contaminants such as toxic metal ions, anions, dyes and pathogenic bacterial strains. Simultaneously, the produced particles have been utilized for the sensing of food adulterants and further used in agronomical sector. newline
