Abstract

Current development in nanotechnology has provided us with novel nanomaterials. This advancement in nanomaterial synthesis has resulted in their manipulation at the atomic level to achieve desired catalytic properties. The green routes used in synthesis of nanomaterials grab more attention as they are of low cost and environmental friendly, thereby reducing the risk of harmful effects of toxic chemicals and derivative compounds. Iron nanoparticles have essential properties which are due to their multivalent oxidation states, abundant polymorphism and are also used as sensors, catalysts, medicinal uses, and remediation technology. Reducing the size increases the surface area of nanoparticles and hence the ratio of surface to bulk iron atoms. Consequently, both the rate of reaction and the fraction of iron atoms available for the reaction increase. As the iron nanoparticles are more reactive for water pollutants, they are used in water remediation technology. Iron nanoparticles are successfully used because of their exclusive properties, like very small size, high surface-area-to-volume ratio, surface modifiability, better magnetic properties, and great biocompatibility. This review describes the different applications of iron nanoparticles in environmental remediation. It also highlights the advanced routes for their synthesis by green resources. This review article concludes that green synthesized iron nanoparticles are highly efficient for the removal of different pollutants.
