AB  - Lignocellulosic biomass waste is a cheap, eco-friendly, and sustainable raw 
      material for a wide array of applications. In the present study, an easy, fast, 
      and economically feasible route has been proposed for the preparation of 
      different zero-valent metal nanoparticles (ZV-MNPs) based on Cu, Co, Ag, and Ni 
      NPs using empty fruit bunch (EFB) biomass residue as support material. The 
      catalytic efficiency of ZV-MNPs/EFB catalyst was investigated against five model 
      pollutants, such as methyl orange (MO), congo red (CR), methylene blue (MB), 
      acridine orange (AO), and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) using NaBH(4) as a source of 
      hydrogen and electron. Comparative study revealed that among as-prepared 
      ZV-MNPs/EFB catalysts, Cu-NPs immobilized onto EFB (Cu/EFB) exhibited maximum 
      catalytic efficiency towards pollutant abasement. Degradation reactions were 
      highly efficient, and were completed within a short time (4 min) in case of MO, 
      CR, and MB, whilst AO and 4-NP were reduced in less than 15 min. Kinetic 
      investigation revealed that the degradation rate of model pollutants accorded 
      with pseudo-first order model. Furthermore, supported catalysts were easily 
      recovered after the completion of experiment by simply pulling the catalyst from 
      reaction system. Recyclability tests performed on Cu/EFB revealed that more than 
      97% of the reduction was achieved in case of MO dye for four successive cycles of 
      reuse. The as-prepared heterostructure showed multifunctional properties, such as 
      enhanced uptake of contaminants, high catalytic efficiency, and easy recovery, 
      hence, offers great prospects in wastewater purification.
