Abstract

Abstract

The exploitation of different plant materials for the biosynthesis of nanoparticles is considered a green technology because it does not involve any harmful chemicals. In this study, iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄-NPs) were synthesized using a completely green biosynthetic method by reduction of ferric chloride solution using brown seaweed water extracts. The two seaweeds Padina pavonica (Linnaeus) Thivy and Sargassum acinarium (Linnaeus) Setchell 1933 were used in this study. The algae extract was used as a reductant of FeCl₃ resulting in the phytosynthesis of Fe₃O₄-NPs. The phytogenic Fe₃O₄-NPs were characterized by surface plasmon band observed close to 402 nm and 415 nm; the obtained Fe₃O₄-NPs are in the particle sizes ranged from 10 to 19.5 nm and 21.6 to 27.4 nm for P. pavonica and S. acinarium, respectively. The strong signals of iron were reported in their corresponding EDX spectra. FTIR analyses revealed that sulphated polysaccharides are the main biomolecules in the algae extracts that do dual function of reducing the FeCl₃ and stabilizing the phytogenic Fe₃O₄-NPs. The biosynthesized Fe₃O₄-NPs were entrapped in calcium alginates beads and used in Pb adsorption experiments. The biosynthesized Fe₃O₄-NPs alginate beads via P. pavonica (Linnaeus) Thivy had high capacity for bioremoval of Pb (91%) while that of S. acinarium (Linnaeus) Setchell 1933 had a capacity of (78%) after 75 min. The values of the process parameters for the maximum Pb removal efficiency by Fe₃O₄-NPs alginate beads synthesized via P. pavonica (Linnaeus) Thivy were also estimated.
