Preparation and Characterization of iron oxide nanoparticles by using Lemon Iraqi plant extracts

Abstract

Abstract:

            In this study, was prepared of iron oxide nanoparticles by using the method of Sol - Gel auto-combustion employing green chemistry, a method of environmentally friendly and less expensive than other methods, and using natural extrac of Lemon Iraqi plant has been used as alternatives to materials that is used fuel for the process of ignition. Prepared powder was diagnosed using X-ray diffraction device (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersion X-ray(EDX). The powders of iron oxide, was pure nanoscale. Tests carried out was a nanoscale particle size by Debye - Scherer equation  15.6231 nm.
