Abstract
Among various water and wastewater treatment methods, adsorption techniques are widely used to remove certain classes of pollutants due to its unique features. Thus, the aim of this data article is to synthesize zero valent iron nanoparticles (NZVI) from Nettle leaf extract by green synthesis method as an environmentally friendly technique, and to evaluate it's efficiency in the removal of furfural from aqueous solutions. The data of possible adsorption mechanism and isotherm of furfural on the synthesized adsorbent are depicted in this data article. The data acquired showed that the adsorption trend follows the pseudo-second order kinetic model and that the Langmuir isotherm was suitable for correlation of equilibrium data with the maximum adsorption capacity of 454.4mg/g. The information of initial furfural concentration, pH, adsorbent dosage and contact time effects on the removal efficiency are presented. Considering the findings data, the developed nanoparticle from Nettle leaf extract, as a low cost adsorbent, could be considered as promising adsorbent for furfural and probably similar organic pollutants removal from aqueous solutions.

Summary
Environmental Engineering – Industrial effluent treatment – Wastewater technology Tables, Figures, Images and Text file – Nettle extract was used to synthesize novel nano zero-valent iron (NNZVI). – Batch experiments were performed to collect the data of the influence of contact time and pH on furfural removal. – Transmission electron microscopy (JEOL JEM 1200 EX Mk 2), Philips X’Pert. Adsorption of furfural from aqueous solutions using nano zero valent iron (NZVI) that prepared via green synthesis method from Nettle extract has be studied. This data offer an environmentally friendly method for preparation of adsorbent from Nettle leaf extract. The removal of furfural from aqueous solution was examined using a synthesized novel green adsorbent. The Nettle leaf, as an abundant local plants in Ardabil province, northwestern Iran, used in this study to prepare zero-valent iron nanoparticles (NZVI). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Philips X’Pert Pro instrument (the Netherlands) were used to get particle sizes and XRD patterns of the synthesized nanoparticles, respectively.
