Description
Summary:Olive mill wastewater (OMW) is a hazardous effluent due to large quantities of pollutant compounds, such as polyphenols. Land spreading of untreated OMW comes with severe toxicity on agricultural lands. Cleaning up OMW via the extraction of polyphenols was employed as reducing, capping, and stabilizing agents to biosynthesize magnesium sulfide nanoparticles (MgS NPs). Detailed characterization spectroscopy analysis revealed the appearance of peaks at 439, 593, and 667 cm−1 confirming the synthesis of MgS NPs. In addition, XRD showed the characteristic peaks of MgS NPs with an average crystalline size of 86.3 nm. TEM and EDX confirmed the high purity of nanoparticles with irregular spherical shapes. For the first time, the biogenic MgS NPs were investigated in the germination of old pea (Pisum sativum L. var.) and soil bacteria. Results demonstrated positive efficacy in the germination growth promotion of seeds and bacterial growth. Machine learning classifiers suitable for our study were mentioned, and SVC performs showed the best with accuracy and an F1 score of 86 %. Further investigations are required to determine the efficacy of these nanoparticles in agriculture.
