The circular economy, which attempts to decrease agricultural waste while also improving sustainable development through the production of sustainable products from waste and by-products, is currently one of the main objectives of environmental research. Taking this view, this study used a green approach to synthesize two forms of silver nanoparticles: coated silver nanoparticles with olive leaf extract (Ag-olive) and uncoated pure silver nanoparticles (Ag-pure), which were produced by the calcination of Ag-olive at 550 °C. The extract and the fabricated nanoparticles were characterized by a variety of physicochemical techniques, including high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Adult ticks () (Acari: Ixodidae) were used in this study to evaluate the antiparasitic activity of synthesized nanoparticles and extract. Furthermore, the antifungal activity was evaluated against strain N (MW958085), (MT550034), and (MT550036). In both antiparasitic and antifungal tests, the as-synthesized Ag-olive showed higher inhibition activity than Ag-pure and olive leaf extract. The findings of this research suggest that Ag-olive may be a powerful and eco-friendly antiparasitic and antifungal agent. Ag-pure was also evaluated as a photocatalyst under sunlight for the detoxification of Eri-chrome-black T (EBT), methylene blue (MB), methyl orange (MO), and rhodamine B (RhB).
循环经济试图减少农业废弃物,同时通过利用废弃物和副产品生产可持续产品来提高可持续发展水平,这是当前环境研究的主要目标之一。基于这一观点,本研究采用绿色方法合成了两种形式的银纳米粒子:用橄榄叶提取物包裹的银纳米粒子(Ag-olive)和未包裹的纯银纳米粒子(Ag-pure),Ag-olive 通过在 550°C 下煅烧制备而成。使用各种物理化学技术对提取物和制备的纳米粒子进行了表征,包括高效液相色谱法(HPLC)、热重分析(TGA)、X 射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)。本研究使用成年蜱虫()(蜱螨目:硬蜱科)来评估合成纳米粒子和提取物的抗寄生虫活性。此外,还评估了其对 菌株 N(MW958085)、 (MT550034)和 (MT550036)的抗真菌活性。在抗寄生虫和抗真菌测试中,合成的 Ag-olive 显示出比 Ag-pure 和橄榄叶提取物更高的抑制活性。本研究结果表明,Ag-olive 可能是一种强大且环保的抗寄生虫和抗真菌剂。Ag-pure 还被评估为在阳光下作为光催化剂,用于解毒 Eri-chrome-black T(EBT)、亚甲基蓝(MB)、甲基橙(MO)和罗丹明 B(RhB)。
