| Abstract | Biosynthesis of palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) is considered an efficient and green method for catalytic applications. Reported short-term batch studies have demonstrated PdNP synthesis using suspended biomass, but the PdNPs tended to agglomerate to large sizes and be washed out along with the biomass under continuous operation. Biofilm is a promising alternative for continuous PdNP synthesis, as it contains significant extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) with functional groups able to adsorb/stabilize PdNPs, and the biofilm and its PdNPs are naturally retained. We tested continuous Pd nanoparticle (PdNP) synthesis using a denitrifying biofilm that promoted enzymatic and autocatalytic reduction of PdII to Pd0 on the surface of non-porous hollow-fiber membranes that delivered hydrogen gas (H2) as the electron donor. The biofilm retained >99% of PdNPs. Approximately one-half were bound as 20 to 100 nm grains on the cell surfaces, while the other half were dispersed as 3 to 4 nm Pd0 crystallites within the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix. When no biofilm was present, PdII was reduced autocatalytically to Pd0, which self-assembled to form larger aggregates in a continuous, yet fragile film on the membrane. As a result, the stabilized PdNP-biofilm catalyzed further the PdII reduction faster than the agglomerated Pd-film. These results document the beneficial roles of biofilm in enhancing PdNP production, and provide a baseline for practical long-term sustainable Pd recovery from waste streams using biofilm systems. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
