Green zero-valent iron (ZVI) was synthesised using polyphenols from green tea extract as reducing agent and ferric chloride (FeCl3) as iron precursor. Polyphenols were extracted through microwave-assisted extraction from dried green tea leaves with varying green tea-to-solvent ratio (1:18-1:22 g/mL)...
