Green synthesis and characterization of iron oxide nanoparticles for the removal of heavy metals (Cd²⁺ and Ni²⁺) from aqueous solutions with Antimicrobial Investigation.

ABSTRACT: Clove and green Coffee (g-Coffee) extracts were used to synthesize green iron oxide nanoparticles, which were then used to sorb Cd²⁺ and Ni²⁺ ions out of an aqueous solution. Investigations with x-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption and desorption (BET), Zeta potential, and scanning electron microscopy were performed to know and understand more about the chemical structure and surface morphology of the produced iron oxide nanoparticles. The characterization revealed that the main component of iron nanoparticles was magnetite when the Clove extract was used as a reducing agent for Fe³⁺, but both magnetite and hematite were included when the g-Coffee
