Abstract
Green Fe NPs were synthesized using Aegle marmelos waste peel extract. The synthesized NPs showed good catalytic activity towards Fenton oxidation of pollutant dyes. Reaction kinetics suggested that oxidative degradation follows the pseudo first order model. The nanocatalyst showed good reusability.
