β-cyclodextrin functionalized gold nanoparticles as an effective nanocatalyst for reducing toxic nitroaromatics
An effective reduction of the organic pollutants, the nitroaromatics, was demonstrated via green sustainable chemistry using high efficacy of the
Cyclodextrin-functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles for extracting nanometallic pollutants from water
Extraction of Au/Ag nanoparticles (NPs) as nanometallic pollutants from an aqueous phase was carried out using cyclodextrin (CD)-stabilized magnetic NPs.
Gold and uranium recovery from electronic waste, soil and wastewater
In a study, the metal coordination ability of α-CD was employed to complex gold and thus isolate and extract it
