Abstract

Sustainable management of water resources is a daunting challenge, especially with respect to microbes. This study primarily focused on the development of a novel application for the removal of specific bacterial groups in different water types using a green synthetic nano Cur-Zn(II) complex. The results of UV and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques suggested the formation of a chelation complex. Proton NMR showed that the main enolic proton peak with a chemical shift of 16.45 nm identified in curcumin was missed, indicating the contribution of carbonyl oxygen of enol in the formation of the complex. The crystalline nature of the complex and Wurtzite structure of annealed products was inferred from the XRD analysis data. SEM results confirmed the complex’s morphology as spherical and clustered with a rough surface, having an average particle size of 68.2 nm. In addition, the complex was observed to be stable up to 300 °C without any decomposition from STA. Being acidic in nature with a pH of 5.36, the complex penetrates into the cell membrane and inhibit microbial growth. Intrinsically, no studies have been reported for the removal of microbes from water using natural materials embedded with inorganic metals, particularly in nano form. Therefore, the study is the first, innovative, eco-friendly, and economical method to use nano Cur-Zn(II) for removing targeted bacteria in real water samples with 100% efficiency by using optimized amounts (0.025–0.2 g/L) of the complex at a contact time interval between 4 and 24 h. The complex developed is toxic-free and can be applied in situ.
