Microwave-Assisted Synthesis and Characterization of an Agriculturally Derived Silver Nanocomposite and Its Derivatives

Nanocomposites and activated carbons are well known and tested effective adsorbents in the areas of water purification and water treatment. However, commercial nanocomposites and activated carbons are expensive; therefore, it has become increasingly pertinent to produce affordable nanocomposites and activated carbons. Herein, we report a microwave assisted synthesis of an agriculturally derived nanocomposite, maize tassel-silver (MtAg)...
