AbstractGreen synthesis is a simple, non-toxic, economical and eco-friendly approach for the synthesis of nanoparticles. In the present work, nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (TiO2 NPs) were synthesized using an aqueous solution of Syzygium cumini leaf extract as a capping agent. These green synthesized TiO2 NPs were further evaluated for photo catalytic removal of lead from industrial wastewater. Obtained nanoparticles were characterized using: high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). Obtained results revealed that synthesized TiO2 NPs possess spherical morphology with anatase phase with a large BET surface area of 105 m2/g. Photo catalytic studies of TiO2 NPs for lead removal from explosive wastewater were performed in a self-designed reactor. Inductive coupled plasma spectroscopy (ICP) was used to determine the lead concentration. Obtained results witnessed 75.5% removal in chemical oxygen demand (COD) and 82.53% removal in lead (Pb2+). This application of green TiO2 NPs is being explored for the first time.

The fundamental performance of a bio-electrochemical reactor for the direct treatment of metal ickling wastewater was investigated experimentally. In the reactor, carbon anode and cathode were installed. On the cathode, denitrifying microorganisms were immobilized. Continuous experiments were carried out by feeding a synthetic wastewater containing nitrate and binary heavy metal ions, copper and lead, under different operating conditions. Acetate as well as the electric current was supplied at the minimum amount for stoichiometry of the dissimilatory denitrification reaction. The results indicated that the dissolved copper and lead removal, denitrification and neutralization could be achieved simultaneously in a single bio-electrochemical reactor. The dissolved heavy metals were removed by electrochemical deposition on cathode and by the other phenomena such as the formation of insoluble suspensions and the sorption on suspended bacterial sludge. Denitrification proceeded effectively with the utilization of both added acetate and hydrogen gas generated by electrolysis of water. The pH value increased up to around neutral due to the occurrence of denitrification in the reactor, although the influent pH was less than 3. The removal efficiencies of heavy metals and nitrate increased with increasing the current density. The applied electric current was indispensable for sustaining the stable treatment in the reactor.

This research wasaccomplished to appraise the performance of Cyperus Rotundus Stalk (CRS) in adsorption of lead heavy metalofaquatic environments. For this purpose, the batch system was used for review the effect pH, Mixing time, adsorbent particle size and temperature for Pb(II) removal on the CRS. The highest lead removal efficacy was achieved in pH=6 and it was considered as the optimum pH. The result indicated the maximum Pb(II) adsorption at the contact time of 90 min which implies that increase in contact time lead to a higher lead uptake.The amount of R2using the pseudo-second-order are greater than compare with others models.Influence of temperature was determined byusing thermodynamic parameters and the results showedremoval of lead on the CRS was endothermic, spontaneousandfeasible.
