A facile strategy for preparation of Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles using Cordia myxa leaf extract and investigating its adsorption activity in dye removal.

ABSTRACT: This study demonstrates the successful, facile, and cost-effective preparation of magnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (MNPs) via green procedure using Cordia myxa leaf extracts for efficient adsorption of methylene blue (MB) as a model of organic pollutant. The formation of Fe₃O₄ NPs was confirmed by a range of spectroscopy and microscopy techniques including FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, EDS, VSM, TGA, and BET-BJH. The synthesized spherical nanoparticles had a high specific surface area of 115.07 m²/g with a mesoporous structure. The formed Fe₃O₄ MNPs exhibited superparamagnetic behavior with saturation magnetization of 49.48 emu/g. After characterization, the adsorptive performance of the synthesized MNPs toward MB was eval
