Detection and extraction of endosulfan by metal nanoparticles

摘要: One of the most common pesticides in developing world, endosulfan, can be detected ppm levels using gold nanoparticles. Endosulfan adsorbs on nanoparticle surface and upon interaction for a long time, nanoparticles precipitate from solution. Interaction with silver is weak, yet adsorption occurs leading to removal endosulfan A multilayer assembly prepared glass substrate shows excellent spectrophotometric response suggesting potential applications.
