Abstract
It is a challenge for the current world to provide chemical pollutants and microbes free affordable water. Clean water can be made available to common people by protecting the water sources, and purifying the polluted water. Carbon-based materials can be prepared and utilized for the remediation of water pollutants and microbes. The present study reveals the advancement in water treatment technology which includes the development of economic, eco-friendly, and phytogenic nanohybrid composite, MnFe2O4/BC. This composite inhibited the bacterial growth and adsorbed organic water pollutants. The hybrid composite was prepared by growing MnFe2O4 onto the Nigella Sativa plant seeds (Black Cumin) using simple co-precipitation process. The composite was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM-EDX, TEM, TGA, and DSC techniques. MnFe2O4/BC has shown Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) growth inhibition activity. The hybrid composite was used as an adsorbent for methylene blue removal from water with an excellent adsorption capacity and can be used in cyclic manner. This composite, therefore, is affordable and sustainable adsorbent that can be used for water purification for the current and future scenario.
