Green synthesis of iron nanoparticles using a soil microalga, Chlorococcum sp. MM11, and their application in chromium remediation have been investigated. Spherical-shaped nanoiron was synthesized by treating the exponentially growing culture of Chlorococcum sp. with 0.1 M iron chloride solution for...
