Introduction:

TNT or 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene was produced in 1863 by Wilbrand, and then used as the primary explosive by military forces
in the world for several decades. The storage, usage, and disposal of TNT is a worldwide problem. TNT can enter into biological
systems and constitutes a significant risk to human health. The adverse effects of TNT were indicated for humans such as
irritation of the skin, aplastic anemia, cataract or spermatozoa malformancy. Furthermore, there is a high risk of contamination
of food and water resources by TNT leakage from the contaminated areas. Thus, removal of TNT is highly important.
