Facile green synthesis of Fe3O4 nanoparticles using aqueous leaf extract of Zanthoxylum armatum DC. for efficient adsorption of methylene blue

We report a facile and green route for the synthesis of superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) using aqueous leaf extract of Zanthoxylum armatum DC. for efficient adsorption of organic pollutant, methylene blue (MB). The phytochemicals present in the aqueous leaf extract Zanthoxylum a...
