Ecofriendly synthesis of selenium nanoparticles using agricultural Citrus fortunella waste and decolourization of crystal violet from aqueous solution. Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, 1-17.0008-40341939-019Xhttps://doi.org/10.1002/cjce.25179https://hdl.handle.net/11468/14017In this study, the reuse of Citrus fortunella (CF) plant waste, an agricultural product, was evaluated within the scope of sustainability. In this context, selenium nanoparticles (CF-Se NPs) were synthesized from CF waste extracts and crystal violet (CV) dye was removed. The characteristic structure of the synthesized CF-Se NPs was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-vis spectroscopy, and point of zero charge (pH(pzc)). Batch adsorption tests were applied to determine the effect of the synthesized CF-Se NPs on CV removal. Four different kinetic and isotherm models were examined using error analysis functions. While the particle size of CF-Se NPs was determined as 27.58 nm, the pH(pzc) value was calculated as 9.40, the average surface charge distribution was -24.1 mV, and mass losses were 9.03% and 13.42% at 334.99 and 739.21(degrees)C, respectively. The most suitable kinetic and isotherm model for CV removal with CF-Se NPs was determined to be pseudo-second-order with a R-2-value of 0.999 and Freundlich with R-2-value of 0.993, and the q(max )was calculated as 23.55 mgCV/gCF-SeNPs. The effectiveness of CF-Se NPs synthesized from waste in CV removal is a remarkable issue in terms of sustainable production.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAdsorptionAgricultural wasteCitrus fortunellaCrystal violetGreen synthesisNanoparticleArticleWOS:0011430951000012-s2.0-8518243579110.1002/cjce.25179Q2N/A
