Phytosynthesis and Characterization of Iron Nanocomposites by Irvingia Gabonensis (Ogbono) Aqueous and Ethanol Leaf Extracts

Abstract: The need for emerging materials based on nano-composites from green plants, or non-useful materials for adsorption process is on the increase. The objective of this research was to evaluate the phytosynthesis and characterization of iron nano-composites (Fe.NCs) formed by aqueous and ethanol extracts of Irvingia gabonensis (Ogbono) tree leaves. The composites were characterized by visual observation, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Visual observation of th… Show more

“…Dried leaves were grounded to powdery form and kept for further use as samples. The detailed procedure for the aqueous extraction, synthesis of zerovalent iron nanoparticles and preparation of African bush mango leaf extract stabilized by iron oxide has been published elsewhere (Ebong et al, 2020).…”

“…Over the years, many physical, chemical and biological approaches have been employed for the evacuation of dyes from wastewater namely coagulation (Szygułaa et al, 2009), precipitation (Zhu et al, 2007), separation through membranes (Alventosa-deLara et al, 2012), electrolysis (Wang, 2009), photolysis (Guo et al, 2006), extraction (Abbassiana et al, 2015), oxidation (Gomes et al, 2012), biological treatments (Popli and Patel, 2015), and adsorption (Shaibu et al, 2014) nevertheless with some setbacks (Wang et al, 2010). Several popular low-cost adsorbents, including natural materials, biologically derived adsorbents, and waste materials from agricultural industries have also been used by some researchers (Namasivayam and Yamuna, 1992;, , Adowei et al (2016), Ebong et al, (2020), Tarawouu et al (2007; Namasivayam and Arasi 1997). The low-chemical agents for the textile industries effluents (Preethi et al, 2006, Meshko et al, 2001Chen et al, 2001, Purkait et al, 2007Chen et al, 2011).…”
