Wastewater Cleanup Boost

Endophytic fungi-derived calcium oxide nanoparticles removed up to 91% of pollutants from textile wastewater within 60 minutes and 85% from leather wastewater by 120 minutes under optimal conditions. Fungal strains tolerated heavy metals at 25–100 ppm, enabling nanoparticle synthesis and pollutant binding through adsorption and coagulation, delivering fast, low-cost cleanup of industrial wastewater while reducing heavy metal contamination.
