Iron nanoparticles were formed during the reaction of fruit extract and leached laterite solution and were confirmed with SEM, XRD, and EDS analysis (Devatha et al. 2016; Sangami & Manu 2017). The iron particles formed were seen as spherical particles on SEM images and their size was observed to be 100–200 nm. EDS data show us three peaks corresponding to iron (Figure 1(b)) and reveal that the nanoparticles formed contain iron at 12.28% by weight composition as shown in Table 1.
