Recycling Silver from Sarcheshmeh Copper Anodic Sludge for Green Synthesis of Silver-Based Nanocomposites

The aim of this study was to synthesize the organic nanocomposite for drug delivery using prosopis cineraria, and to investigate the loading and releasing the drug. The release of the tungstophosphoric acid hydrate was conducted with immersing 0.65 g of nanocomposite containing the drug in 50 ml of phosphate buffer at 37 °C under magnetic stirring conditions. The synthesis of the nanocomposites using pure merck silver nitrate (MSN) and silver nitrate from anodic sludge (SSN) after purification was statistically compared for pharmacological, microbicide and dewatering purposes. Since there was no significant difference between the two nanocomposites, the nanocomposites synthesized using SSN were used in all experiments.
