Biosynthesis of Multicomponent Nanoparticles with Extract of Mortiño (Vaccinium floribundum Kunth) Berry: Application on Heavy Metals Removal from Water and Immobilization in Soils

Through preparation of multicomponent nanoparticles (MCNPs) using ferric chloride (FeCl3), sodium sulfate (Na2SO4), and the extract of mortiño fruit (Vaccinium floribundum Kunth), we dramatically improved the removal/immobilization of heavy metals from water and in soils. As-prepared nanoparticles w...
