Journal ArticleDOI
Biosynthesis of Iron and Silver Nanoparticles at Room Temperature Using Aqueous Sorghum Bran Extracts
Eric C. Njagi,Hui Huang,Lisa Stafford,Homer C. Genuino,Hugo Galindo,John B. Collins,George E. Hoag,Steven L. Suib +7 more
TL;DR: Iron and silver nanoparticles were synthesized using a rapid, single step, and completely green biosynthetic method employing aqueous sorghum extracts as both the reducing and capping agent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics of heat-assisted persulfate oxidation of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE).
TL;DR: The kinetics of heat-assisted persulfate oxidation of methyl tert-butyl ether in aqueous solutions at various pH, temperature, oxidant concentration and ionic strength levels was studied and the MTBE degradation was found to follow a pseudo-first-order decay model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of bromothymol blue by ‘greener’ nano-scale zero-valent iron synthesized using tea polyphenols
George E. Hoag,John B. Collins,Jennifer L. Holcomb,Jessica R. Hoag,Mallikarjuna N. Nadagouda,Rajender S. Varma +5 more
TL;DR: A green single-step synthesis of iron nanoparticles using tea (Camellia sinensis) polyphenols is described in this article that uses no additional surfactants/polymers as capping or reducing agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of volatile organic compounds with thermally activated persulfate oxidation.
TL;DR: The results indicate that persulfate oxidation mechanisms are effective in degrading many VOCs including chlorinated ethenes (CEs), BTEXs and trichloroethanes that are frequently detected in the subsurface at contaminated sites.
Patent
Green synthesis of nanometals using plant extracts and use thereof
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe methods of making and using and compositions of metal nanoparticles formed by green chemistry synthetic techniques, which are used in removing contaminants from soil and groundwater and other contaminated sites.
