Green filter are used for sustainable water remediation and treatment is a good analysis of recognized procedures for removing metals from polluted water [1]. Recent advances in the field of nanotechnology and larger applications of nanoparticles have led to learn about the unexploited resources that already exist in nature for development of new methods in synthesis of nanoparticles. Commonly, nanoparticles can be readily formed using physical and chemical methods[2].Nanoparticles (NPs) are defined as materials with a size between 1 and 100 nm. Their Nano size provides them more surface areas than the corresponding bulk forms, advanced reactivity and a tunable nature of several properties. These special properties have encouraged the development of nanoscience and the application of NPs in wide range of fields like biomedicine, cosmetics, electronic, food, environmental examination and remediation or paints [3].
Several of the nanomaterial synthesis or making techniques of nanomaterials include the usage of dangerous elements, low material changes and high energy requirements. So, an increasing need to develop an environmentally friendly procedure for nanomaterials synthesis without using dangerous chemicals is gaining importance. Green filters techniques using also microorganisms or leaf extracts have developed as a simple and possible another to plant synthetic processes and physical procedures [4].
Due to a number of restrictions of conventional procedures, review application has newly moved towards the improvement of clean and eco-friendly creation procedures. Nanomaterials can also be green filter, based on the use of leaf extracts which are responsible for the decrease of metallic complexes to appropriate nanomaterials. Green filter is not only ecologically friendly, but also low-cost. Because there is no requirement to use high temperatures, pressure, or supplementary energy contributions, it is easy to implement on a huge scales [5,6]. Green filter to products Nano zero valent iron (nZVI) was first useful by Veru TEK and USEPA. Thesetechnique involved the preparation of a polyphenolic solution by warming leaf extracts (coffee, green tea, black tea, lemon, balm, sorghum, bran, grape etc.) in water to a temperature nearby to the boiling point. Extract ready in that technique is divided from the leaf filtrate and then mixed with a solution of Fe2+. The iron ions in the occurrence of polyphenols remained reduced to nZVI [7]. This green filters procedure for producing iron nanomaterials is considered as the most ecofriendly method and is still now commonly used.
Another different procedures e.g. hydro thermal production with leaf extracts, production with plant or leaf biodegradables -assisted production are further common in the production of iron oxide nanoparticles [8].The main disadvantages of using leaf extract for nanomaterials mixture is the devastation of leaf and plant amounts [9]. Extracts from several remains (skin, albedo, flesh) of such fruits as lemons, mandarins, limes, oranges or vine pomace [6,10]. Herb extracts decrease the metallic ions in a smaller period as associated to micro organisms. Contingent upon leaf category and application of phytochemicals reactions, nanomaterial remain complete within a limited time, although microorganism-based methods require a longer time. The main disadvantage of microorganism nanomaterial production is the required limitation of sterilized situations, which needs qualified supervisor, and increases the scaling-up charge[8].Green filter ZVI has been positively used as a Fenton catalyst for oxidizing monochlorobenzene [11].The reducing agent are used dye such as malachitegreen[12] or bromothymol blue. Former research‟s show the report of green nZVI it can be used to damage medicines (e.g. ibuprofen) in soils , Cr (VI) ions [13,14], nitrate [15]. Treatment of swege waste water [20]. In spite of the various benefits of using this technique, green filter is still not generally believed. These consequences after lacking information of the reactivity, physicochemical belongings, and accumulation of the nanometrials formed . The data presented in the writings shows that dependent of the kind of leaf isolation used for the manufacture of nZVI, we found nano particles with several dimensions and standards of particular surface area. Green filters can also be restricted by the lacking decrease of iron to nZVI by plant extracts [13], subsequent in of the construction of additional procedures of iron, e.g. iron oxides of hydroxides, in the progress of the development [12].
The newly collected leaf of cocaine (12 g) remained carefully washed with fresh tap water follow the procedure ultra-pure deionized water to remove the filth. The cleaned leaf sample was occupied in a 250mL Erlenmeyer flask; 100mL of miliQ was added and boiled at 80 1C for5min.The leaf extract was filtered through Watman‟s No.1 filter paper and the obtained filtrate was stored at 4 1C for further use for the green synthesis of AgNPs. In this study, the leaves extract acts as a reducing and protecting agent for the green synthesis of AgNPs. In a typical synthesis of AgNPs, 0.5mLof I. coccinea leaves extract was added to 10mL of 1m MagNO3 aqueous solution and kept in a dark place at room temperature. After few minutes, the colorless reaction mixture changed to dark brown color which indicates the formation of AgNPs. The bio-reduced AgNPs were monitored by using a UV–vis spectrophotometer. The UV–vis spectra was recorded on a UV–vis spectrophotometer and the sample was measured in the wave- length region f200–800nm.The morphological studies of the synthesized AgNPs were viewed instrument. The greens synthesized AgNPs were centrifuged at 10,000rpm for 15min to obtain the residue. The residual part of AgNPs was washed with deionized water and dried in a hot air oven at 60 1C for 24h.The crushed AgNPs were studied by a Bruker model D8 progressive concentrate X-ray diffractometer. The intensity data for the lyophilized nano silver powder were collected in the 2y range 20–801 and the scanning speed at 0.02 min per degree. The green filter of AgNPs was documented by JASCOFTIR spectrophotometer using KBr pellet in the range of 400 – 4000cm_1 with the spectra resolution of 4cm_1 [17].

The leaf can also be create in the Conditions of Florida and Arizona in the United States and in the West Indies. Ficusbenjaminais a tree that in usual situations can spread 30m. FicusBenjamina was used as a biodegradable of Cd (II). The leaf were clean with tap water, de-ionized water drying in oven at 50 C before cut onto minor particles. To make the extract of FicusBenjamina leaf, take 20 g of leaf in Erlenmeyer flask (250 mL) then add 100 mL of sterilized distilled water, boil the previous solution for 5 min (60 C). Later boiling for 5 min the mixture was cleaned and the filtrate will be stored at 4 C until used as a decreasing and preservative resources for the preparation of nanomaterials production procedure. For production Ag0 nanomaterials procedure, take 2 ml of FicusBenjamina leaf extract (FBLE) and add to 25 mL of AgNO3 (1 Mm). The explanation modifications its pigment to brown. Finally, the solution enthused for 40 min to form the silver nanomaterials. This experimentation was accompanied at room temperature (25 C). The presence of brown color shows the development of Ag nanomaterials. Color modifications to brown within 20 min shows that the AgNPs is made. The categorizations of the made Ag nanomaterials were studied. The illustrations remained occupied at different times and examined by UV– Vis spectrophotometer on UV- Vis measuring lead: Varian ICP – AES.
