We describe a facile, economic, and environment friendly green method for simultaneous detection of palladium ions and recovery Pd nanoparticles from wastewater through a non-toxic gamma-irradiation based reduction reaction. Importantly, Pd forms a square-planar structured complex with Pd2+ which aids the development of smaller and monodispersed Pd NPs during radiolytic reduction. About 15 nm colloidal Pd NPs were formed at 10 kGy gamma-irradiation, and various sizes of aggregates, which may be attributed to Ostwald ripening crystal growth, were observed in the irradiation condition of 20 kGy to 50 kGy. Further, the size of the recovered Pd NPs increases as the Pd2+ concentration increased, due to the increase in the ion association rate. Our proposed green method is a promising strategy that can easily detect Pd2+ from waste water and recover Pd NPs in desired size and morphology. |
