Impact/Purpose:
The article help address the problem of reduction of nitroaromatic compounds in water. It summarizes various approaches that can be adapted from the literature to suit certain conditions in the laboratory or field. This compilation will help guide researchers in academia as well as in water remediation facilities to make a suitable choice for remediation of nitroaromatic compounds in water.
Description:
In view of the increasing applications of nanocatalysis in chemical transformations, this article illustrates recent advances on the use of nanocatalysts for an important reduction reaction, the hydrogenation of nitroaromatics to significant aminoaromatics with aqueous NaBH4 solution; the utility of mono- and multi-metal nanocatalysts with special emphasis on heterogeneous nanocatalysts are included. A progressive trend on the applicability of nanocatalysts is also incorporated with large scale application and their sustainable recyclization and reuse utilizing supported and magnetic nanocatalysts; representative methods for the synthesis of such reusable nanocatalysts are featured.
