Abstract
Iron nanoparticles (Fe-NPs) were synthesized employing Lagenaria siceraria (LS) leaf aqueous extract as
a reducing and capping medium to remove methylene blue (MB) dye and have antibacterial properties against Gnegative (Escherichia coli) and G-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus). The formation of LS-Fe-NPs (Lagenariasiceraria-iron-nanoparticles) was confirmed by a change in color from pale yellow to dark brown. Characterization
techniques, such as particle size analysis (PSA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy
(SEM), were employed to prove nano spherical particles of size range between 80-100 nm. Phytochemicals and the presence
of iron in LS-Fe-NPs nanoparticles were proved by UV-visible spectrophotometry. Further, Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis results confirmed the existence of bioactive molecules in the plants. The magnetic property was
analyzed using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), which displayed that the synthesized nanoparticles were
superparamagnetic and exhibiting a saturation magnetization of 12.5 emu/g. Synthesized magnetic nanoparticles were
used in methylene blue (MB) dye removal through adsorption. About 83% of 100 mg/L MB dye was removed within
120 min at pH 6 with a maximum adsorption capacity of 246.8 mg/g. Antibacterial efficacy of LS-Fe-NPs was screened
against G-negative (Escherichia coli) and G-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus), respectively, and found that LSFe-NPs were effective against Staphylococcus aureus.
