Green synthesis of metal sulphide oxide nanomaterials and its application in heavy metal ion sensing and removal of dyes

Abstract

newline Water the elixir of life, is facing significant threat due to the modern life style of newlinehuman, rapid industrialization, unprecedented urbanization for better economy and newlineunprecedented dissemination of pollutants such as heavy metal ions and dyes. newlineHeavy metals are one of the widespread water pollutant. Heavy metals includes lead newline(Pb), zinc (Zn), mercury (Hg), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), copper (Cu), newlinecobalt (Co), tin (Sn), aluminium (Al) and iron (Fe). Heavy metals are toxic, carcinogenic, newlinenon-biodegradable, bio-accumulates and bio-magnifies in food chain and deleterious health newlineeffects on living organisms.
