N2 - This study explored the potential use of apple peel extract (APE) for the biosynthesis of iron nanoparticles (FeNPs). The synthesized APE-FeNPs were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and transmission scanning electron microscopy (TEM). The biosynthesis of APE-FeNPs was confirmed with polyphenol peaks (237 nm, 272 nm) detected as biological components integrated into APE-FeNPS, and FTIR analysis profiled the presence of primary functional groups (OH-, NH-, CH- bending vibrations). The APE-FeNPs formed were elliptical and spherical shaped, measuring 50 nm. Treatment of malachite green dye with APE-FeNPs showed 71.51% dye decolorization within the first 1 min. This study has shown that apple peel extract can be used to synthesize FeNPs that are useful for removal for malachite green dye.
