Cadmium removal from aqueous solution by green synthesis iron oxide nanoparticles with tangerine peel extract

Conclusion The cadmium ions are usually soluble in acidic pH and the maximum removal of cadmium by green synthesis iron oxide nanoparticles was obtained in the pH of 4, so these nanoparticles can be a good adsorbent for the removal of cadmium from wastewater.
