Biological applications of yttrium oxide nanocomposites synthesized from Aspergillus penicillioides and their potential role in environmental remediation.

ABSTRACT: Industrial effluent contains hazardous metals, such as lead and nickel, which must be removed to prevent serious illnesses. The biological production of nanocomposites, which utilizes a range of biological resources, including microbes and plant extracts, as reducing and stabilizing agents, has garnered considerable attention in recent years. The goal of the current study is to generate Y₂O₃ nanocomposites in a unique, feasible, and biodegradable manner by using biological substances for the remediation of lead and nickel in the wastewater. The characterization outcomes demonstrated that Aspergillus penicillioides was capable of extracellular synthesis of Y₂O₃ nanocomposites with a spherical shape, and their size ranges from 31.4 to 61.9 nm.
