Synthesis of Fe3O4 nanoparticles via reduction of Fe3+ using Sargassum polycystum for methylene blue dye removal in aqueous solution

Seaweed Sargassum polycystum, a common genus of brown algae richly represented in the Philippine marine macrobentic algal flora, was introduced to successfully synthesize magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 –NP’s) for removal of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution. The brown seaweed aqueous...
