This study investigated the rate of chlorpyrifos degradation with different carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) stabilized and unstabilized iron-based nanoparticles viz. CMC-Fe-0, CMC-Fe-0/Ag and Fe-0 under different concentrations of chlorpyrifos. FT-IR and SEM analysis indicated that CMC molecules were...
