Synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles by green approach is extremely promising because of its non-toxicity and environmentally friendly behavior. However, few studies have been done on the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles using grapefruit peel extract. The aim of the present study was to remove indigo carmine dye from industrial effluent using iron oxide nanoparticles synthesized via grapefruit peel extract. The green iron oxide nanoparticles were characterized by SEM, FTIR, and XRD techniques. The antioxidant activity of green iron oxide was also determined. Batch adsorption experiments were used to investigate the adsorption capacities of indigo carmine by iron oxide nanoparticles in synthetic solutions and industrial effluent. The results showed that the synthesized γ-Fe2O3 surface is coated with grapefruit peel extract. The green γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were semi-spherical with an average crystallite size of 11.9 nm, and showed antioxidant activity against DPPH. In the synthetic aqueous solution, the optimum pH value was 2.4 with an indigo carmine adsorption percentage of 84.72%. The kinetic study showed that indigo carmine adsorption by γ-Fe2O3 followed the second-order model and the adsorption process is governed both by external surface adsorption and intra-particle diffusion. Moreover, indigo carmine adsorption by γ-Fe2O3 was well fitted by the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption percentage in an aqueous solution was 96%. The investigation with industrial effluent indicated that the adsorption percentage of indigo carmine was 28.68%. Therefore, γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles from grapefruit peel extract may be proposed to purify industrial effluents contaminated by indigo carmine.
