Green Synthesis of Metallic Nanoparticles by Acacia Tortilis Seed Powder to Mitigate Tylosin from Soil: A Strategy for Sustainable Soil Remediation
摘要
Metallic nanoparticles (MNPs), including Iron nanoparticles (FeONPs), have a significant role in environmental remediation. Their high surface area and reactivity make them excellent agents for transforming or degrading soil antibiotics. The production of biogenic MNPs using plant powder can mitigate the adverse impacts of synthetic manufacturing processes. The main objectives of this work were to produce FeONPs using Acacia tortilis seeds powder and verify their removal efficiency of tylosin (TYL) in soil from industrial region (S.I.) and soil from stable (S.S.). UV–visible spectrophotometer (UV–Vis), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were utilized to characterize the FeONPs. FeONPs were applied at 40 mg to tylosin-contaminated soils. The effectiveness of FeONPs in TYL removal was evaluated for 24 h using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC–MS). The UV–Vis absorption spectrum for FeONPs was observed at 405.015 nm. The average ζ-potential was −29.51 mV for FeONPs. TEM image reveals that the FeONPs have a spherical shape with an average size of 57.29 nm. The efficiency of FeONPs in TYL removal from S.I. soil was significant, with a removal percentage of 39.3%. However, in S.S. soil, a decrease rate of 23.8% was observed for FeONPs. This research demonstrates a promising eco-friendly approach for mitigating soil antibiotic pollution using FeONPs with high negative potential. The study underscores the critical need for further research to understand soil properties and the behavior of remedial agents to tailor effective cleanup strategies.
