    Green Synthesis of Bioleached Flyash Iron Nanoparticles (GBFFeNP) Using Azadirachta Indica Leaves and Its Application as Fenton’s Catalyst in the Degradation of Dicamba
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Bhaskar, S.; Manu, B.; Sreenivasa, M.Y.
    Fly ash made its suitable application in the waste management and remediation application. This article presents the synthesis of nanoiron particles using bioleached fly ash iron and its application as Fenton’s catalyst in the degradation of an herbicide dicamba. Novel isolated bacterial strain Acidithiobacillus Ferrooxidans BMSNITK (MG 271,840) was used to recover iron from fly ash and green synthesis of fly ash iron nanoparticles was successfully carried out using Azadirachta indica. Synthesized iron nanoparticles were characterized with X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy and the catalytic role of bioleached fly ash nanoparticles was evaluated based on the degradation of target pollutant. Hydrogen peroxide and COD were considered as the indicating factors for tracing the reaction progress and degradation resulting 97.81% of dicamba degradation within 90 min. Study confirms the green synthesis of bioleached fly ash iron nanoparticle and its application in Fenton’s oxidation. © 2021, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

    Bacteriological synthesis of iron hydroxysulfate using an isolated Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans strain and its application in ametryn degradation by Fenton's oxidation process
    (Academic Press, 2019) Bhaskar, S.; Manu, B.; Sreenivasa, M.Y.
    The investigation reports the application of biogenic jarosite, an iron hydroxy sulfate mineral in Fenton's Oxidation process. Ametryn, a herbicide detrimental to aquatic life and also to human is treated by Fenton's oxidation process using synthesized iron mineral, jarosite. The jarosite synthesis was carried out by using an isolated Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans bacterial strain with ferrous as an iron supplement. The isolated strain was characterized by molecular techniques and biooxidation activity to ferrous to ferric iron was checked. On Fenton's treatment ametryn degradation upto 84.9% and COD removal to the extent of 56.1% was observed within 2 h of treatment and the reaction follows the pseudo first order kinetics with the curve best fit. The slight increase in kinetic rate constant on jarosite loading rate increase from 0.1 g/L to 0.5 g/L with H2O2 dosage of 100 mg/L confirms that jarosite has a catalytic role in the removal of ametryn. Mass spectroscopy analysis of treated synthetic ametryn solution at various intervals reveal the degradation follows dealkylation and hydroxylation pathway with the formation of three major intermediate compounds discussed here. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd

    Non-ferrous Fenton’s Oxidation of Ametryn Using Bioleached E-waste Copper as a Catalyst
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022) Bhaskar, S.; Manoj, A.; Manu, B.; Sreenivasa, M.Y.; Mudipu, V.
    Shake flask study on bioleaching of copper from e-waste using novel isolated bacterial strain Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans BMSNITK17 was conducted and reported. Under suitable conditions, about 77% of copper was recovered. The process was optimized with several influencing parameters like pulp density, pH, inoculum, temperature, and shake flask speed. To find the vital variables that affect copper dissolution, correlation studies and principal component analysis (PCA) were performed. Investigation on the application of recovered copper as a catalyst in Fenton’s oxidation of ametryn proved the catalytic role of copper with 87% of ametryn degradation efficiency. This study confirms the usage potential of acidophilic bacterial strain toward recovery of valuable metals from e-waste and its application as a catalyst in advanced oxidation process for the degradation of organic pollutants.
