ABSTRACT

The lanthanide oxide nanoparticles were used for the removal of pollutants towards environmental remediation. The enhanced properties and effectiveness of nanotechnology based materials makes them particularly suitable contender in detection of pollutants. The used particles synthesized by facile and easy method with additional standard modification. The origin of pollutants, their toxicity and influential effect of respective pollutants on the environment, humans and ecological system studied in details. The prepared nanoparticles as highly efficient probes, with novel methodology utilized for detection and removal of pollutants. The easy, cost effective and efficient technologies were performed for sensing of these pollutants. This article deals with mainly detection of pollutants present in water, air and soil by using nanomaterial. Further, these nanoparticle is utilized in degradation of various types of pollutants present in the environment.

Significance of the study:

This study demonstrates that split ring resonators with defects can significantly enhance and localize acoustic fields, making them promising candidates for advanced acoustic applications like sensors and filters.

Summary of the study:

The study used Finite Element Method to analyze resonant frequencies in split ring resonators with defects, finding mode degeneration and high Acoustic Quality factors, suggesting potential for acoustic signal applications.
