The synthesised GnIPs were subjected to detailed adsorption studies for removal of arsenite and arsenate from aqueous solution of defined concentration. Iron nanoparticles synthesised using leaf extract showed UV-vis absorption peaks at 360 and 430 nm. TEM result showed the formation of polydispersed nanoparticles of size ranging from 20 to 45 nm. Nanoparticles were found to have core-shell structure. The planer reflection of selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and XRD analysis suggested that iron particles were crystalline and belonged to fcc (face centred cubic) type. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) shows that Fe was an integral component of synthesised nanoparticles. The content of Fe in nanoparticles was found to be 40%, in addition to other elements like C (16%), 0 (19%) and Cl (23%).

Chitosan derived from an edible mushroom, Agaricus bisporus was used during synthesis of chitosan functionalized silica nanoparticles. The functionalized silica nanoparticles were subjected to fluoride sorption using a batch method which subsequently showed removal efficiency of 95% with maximum sorption capacity, 58.8 mg/g. The characterization of nanoparticles was carried out by SEM, EDAX, XRD and FTIR analysis respectively. EDAX analysis suggested that oxygen, 51.83% and silica 37.24% was main constituent of the functionalized nanomaterials. XRD yielded characteristic diffraction pattern corresponding to the lattice planes (100), (110), (112), (120), (200) and (220) respectively. Sorption data was used to study equilibrium isotherm namely Langmuir and Freundlich model. The adsorption capacity increased with temperature while kinetics studies revealed that the adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order rate equation. The enthalpy change (Delta H) and entropy change (Delta S) was found to be -31.36 kJmol(-1) and -7.75 Jmol(-1) K-1, showing endothermic and spontaneous nature of the fluoride adsorption. Data suggested that the nature of adsorption belonged to chemisorptions. The overall results suggested that the synthesized nanoparticles showed strong and specific affinity for fluoride and could be excellent adsorbents for defluoridation.&lt;/p&gt;
