In recent decades, increasing attention has been paid to the sustainability of products and processes, including activities aimed at environmental protection, site reclamation or treatment of contaminated effluents, as well as the valorization of waste through the recovery of resources. Although implemented with 'noble intentions', these...

The current trend in nanoparticles (NPs) synthesis consists in addressing a multiobjective optimization, whose targets are maximization of product yield together with minimization of energy waste and risk factors related...

The choice of a production route ifor metal nanoparticles s generally related to the physico-chemical properties of the materials which the nanoparticles are made of. For example, inorganic NPs are manufactured according to processes which are generally very different from the ones adopted for the synthesis of organic NPs, owing to an...

In this contribution, the photoactivity upon activation by simulated sunlight of zinc oxide (ZnO) obtained from two different synthetic pathways (Acetate and Nitrate) is investigated for water purification. Different reagents and processes were exploited to obtain ZnO nanoparticles. Products have been characterized by means of X‐Ray...

Arsenic (As) is one of the most common inorganic pollutants; unfortunately, it is also one of the most toxic and is therefore a cause of great concern for the health risks that could result from it. Removing arsenic from the soil using phytoremediation approaches is an effective strategy, and several studies demonstrate the ability of Cannabis...

Among inorganic contaminants, arsenic (As) is known for its toxicity and the risks to the environment and human health that could derive from its presence. Phytoremediation represents an effective strategy for the removal of arsenic from contaminated soil, provided that suitable plant species and adequate operational plans are exploited. With...
