Abstract: Lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) are a simple diagnostic device used to detect targeted analytes. Wasted and unused rapid antigen lateral flow immunoassays represent mass waste that needs to be broken down and recycled into new material components. The aim of this study was to recover gold nanoparticles that are used as markers in lateral flow immunoassays. For this purpose, a dissolution process with aqua regia was utilised, where gold nanoparticles were released from the lateral flow immunoassay conjugate pads. The obtained solution was then concentrated further with gold chloride salt (HAuCl4) so that it could be used for the synthesis of new gold nanoparticles in the process of ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP). Various characterisation methods including scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and optical emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma were used during this study. The results of this study showed that the recovery of gold nanoparticles from lateral flow immunoassays is possible, and the newly synthesised gold nanoparticles represent the possibility for incorporation into new products.

Abstract: The Sitarjevec mine, located near the town of Litija (Central Slovenia), is recognized by the strong yellow colour of its dripstone structures and mine mud deposits. The mine mud, composed predominantly of goethite, accumulates on the ground of the mine shafts as the result of the interaction between percolating underground water, iron ore minerals and microorganisms. Since the accumulation of limonite mine mud is an ongoing process, larger quantities of mud have been deposited in the mine shafts since its closure. These deposits present a real threat of unleashing a mine mud spill on the town of Litija. Such a scenario has already previously occurred. In order to find new potential routes for recycling larger quantities of this mine mud, the present research work was performed to assess the use of mine mud as a pigment in the dye industry. In the first stage, the chemical (XRF) and microstructural (SEM) characteristics of the mine mud were defined together with the identification of its phase composition (XRD), particle size distribution and specific surface area (BET). Furthermore, the pigment was used to colour textile printing paste on a laboratory scale. To define the most appropriate quality of textile prints the rheological response of the various textile printing paste samples was investigated in terms of their plastic viscosity, indicating their suitability for use in textile printing. Test prints wereconducted, and the properties of leaching and fastness in the prints were assessed.
