Abstract :

In the present study, iron ions were prepared by chemical digestion from waste rusted iron shavings and steel slag. The zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) were synthesized by reduction of iron ions from steel scrap and steel slag with Camellia sinensis extract (tea) and coated by magnetite (Fe3O4). For this purpose, the leaf extract of Camellia sinensis was extracted using microwave waves as an environmentally friendly method and used as a reducing agent for the synthesis of nZVI. Then, the magnetite coating was placed on the zero-valent iron core to create a magnetic property. The properties and morphology of synthetic magnetic nanoparticles were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The specific surface area and magnetic property of the nanoparticles were determined by adsorption and desorption isotherms (BET) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) as 3.59 m2 g-1 and 6.5 emu g-1, respectively. The results confirmed the formation of magnetite on the core of zero-valent iron nanoparticles and the average diameter of synthetic particles was estimated to be about 20 nm. Using waste and slag sources and using plant extract as a reducing agent lead the proposed method to be considered as a green and economical method for synthesizing the core-shell nanostructure of zero-valent iron nanoparticles with magnetite coating.
