17β-estradiol (E2) is an important natural female hormone that also classified as estrogenic endocrine-disrupting compound (e-EDC). It is, however, known to cause more damaging health effects compared other e-EDCs. Environmental water systems are commonly contaminated with E2 originates from domestic effluents. The determination of the level thus very crucial in both wastewater treatment and aspect environmental pollution management. In this work, inherent strong affinity estrogen receptor-α...

Abstract Rhodamine B (RhB)'s photocatalytic activity was enhanced through the green chemical synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles (ZnO and TiO 2 ). To produce nanoparticles, zinc nitrate hexahydrate titanium tetra-isopropoxide precursors were hydrothermally generated using extracts from Vachellia hebeclada . These synthesised then calcined at high temperatures. Variations in several parameters, including their effects on crystal size morphological properties investigated scanning electron...
