The green synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) using bio-materials has attained enormous attention in recent years due to its simple, eco-friendly, low-cost and non-toxic nature. In this work, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized by the marine algae extract, Sargassum serratifolium (SS). The characteristic studies of bio-synthesized SS-AgNPs and SS-AuNPs were carried out by using ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) absorption spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Phytochemicals in the algae extract, such as meroterpenoids, acted as a capping agent for the NPs’ growth. The synthesized Ag and Au NPs were found to have important catalytic activity for the degradation of organic dyes, including methylene blue, rhodamine B and methyl orange. The reduction of dyes by SS-AgNPs and -AuNPs followed the pseudo-first order kinetics.

Almond shell (AS) is a low-cost adsorbent used in this study for the removal of methylene blue (MB), crystal violet (CV), and Congo red (CR) from an aqueous solution in single and mixture binary systems. The low-cost adsorbent was characterized by FTIR and SEM analysis. The effects of AS dose, contact time, initial dye concentration, pH, and temperature on MB, CV, and CR adsorption were studied in a single system. In a binary system, the MB, CV, and CR were removed from the mixture of MB+CR, CV+MB, and CV+CR with a percentage in volume ranging from 0 to 100 % in MB and CV, and CR. Kinetic studies showed rapid sorption following a second-order kinetic model with of contact time of 10 min. The modulation of adsorption isotherms showed that retention follows the Langmuir model. The thermodynamic parameters proved that the MB, CV, and CR adsorption process was feasible, spontaneous, and exothermic. The synergy adsorption between dyes in a binary mixture of MB+CR and CV+CR, while the competition adsorption between dyes in a binary mixture of MB+ CV.

The chemical and physical routes are usually used to synthesize metal nanoparticles. However, the harmful effects on the environment and human health has turned scientists into finding greener methods. We have developed the novel green method for the synthesis of flower Pd nanoparticles based on the chitosan (CS) polymer. In this method, CS can work as a stabilizer, a shape-directing agent, and a size-controllable agent for the synthesis of these nanoparticles. This study provides pioneer evidence about the multifunctional roles of natural polymers in the preparation of metal nanoparticles. Deep and extensive studies should be conducted to explore the great benefits of natural polymers in the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles.
