This review discusses on the synthesis and examination of nanoparticles obtained from eggshells, with a particular focus on their suitability for usage in environmental and catalytic settings. Calcination and mechanical grinding are acknowledged as effective techniques for generating eggshell nanoparticles. Calcination is a high-temperature process that converts calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) into calcium oxide (CaO). On the other hand, mechanical grinding is a method used to decrease the size of particles to the nanoscale. The text examines different methods employed for characterization, such as thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) for evaluating thermal stability, zeta potential for assessing surface charge and stability, X-ray diffraction (XRD) for identifying crystal structure, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for detecting functional groups, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy for determining elemental composition, dynamic light scattering (DLS) for analyzing particle size distribution, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) for visualizing surface morphology. The produced nano-hydroxyapatite shows promise as an adsorbent for effectively eliminating arsenic and heavy metals from water systems, hence contributing to sustainable waste management and advancements in materials.

That is why this study aimed to explore the synthesis and characterization of allicin-modified activated carbon (AMAC) and evaluate its potential application removing <em>Escherichia coli</em> from synthetic hospital wastewater (HWW). Sugarcane bagasse (SB) provided by a local Brazilian alcohol mill was transformed into activated carbon (SBAC) through a hydrothermal process (heating at 200 °C for 24 h followed by activation at 450 °C for 10 min). Allicin extract was obtained from fresh garlic and impregnated onto the SBAC surface, resulting in AMAC with 105 µm mean diameter. The materials were characterized (FT-IR, Raman and N₂-physisorption), revealing significant structural and surface modifications. The antibacterial activity of allicin against <em>E. coli</em> was assessed through minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) trials and disk diffusion, demonstrating effective bacterial growth inhibition, as expected. Adsorption assays showed that AMAC enhanced <em>E. coli</em> removal efficiency in synthetic HWW by 3 %, compared to the AMAC in deionized and sterile water. This improvement was attributed to the positive interactions and synergistic effects between AMAC and the wastewater constituents. In other words, it means that AMAC can be used in the <em>E. coli</em> removal even in presence of organic and inorganic molecules without any loss of efficiency. The study also highlights the environmentally friendly synthesis process of AMAC and its potential as a sustainable solution for treating HWWs without the use of antibiotics, thus avoiding the potential release of pharmaceutical compounds into the environment.

This pollution, especially from waste, is a serious global problem. Using renewable energy like sunlight with photocatalysts offers an environmentally friendly way to remove pollutants. The focus of the innovation is the use of V, Er, and Ce-doped, multilayer mosaic-structured TiO₂ thin films coated on glass substrates with their suitable band gap values to enhance the performance and sustainability of traditional TiO₂ photocatalysts for the effective treatment of cyanide-containing wastewater under sunlight/UV light. In this study, it was aimed to produce V, Er, Ce pure/doped TiO₂ thin coatings on glass substrates with sol–gel technique and photocatalytic degradation of cyanide in wastewater by using these substrates. The structural, microstructural and electrical properties of the produced films were investigated and thin films coated on glass substrates were used as photocatalysts in the photocatalytic degradation of cyanide in wastewater under UV/sun light source. As an innovative approach, laboratory and industrial scale TiO₂, V-TiO₂, Er-TiO₂, and Ce-TiO₂ coatings with the anatase phase on glass substrates exhibit a multilayered mosaic architecture. The coatings’ refractive index, film thickness, and energy bandgap were observed to vary within the ranges of 1.6028–1.6075 nD, 2.408–2.750 μm, and 3.08–3.73 eV, respectively. Notably, a 95 % efficiency was achieved in cyanide degradation from wastewater using these modified TiO₂ films, indicating their significant potential for high-performance photocatalytic applications in environmental remediation.
