Nanomagnetite can be synthesized in lab by decomposition method using FeOOH and oleic acid in 1-ODEbut the cost of production is very high. Here we are trying to synthesize cost effective nanomagnetites by using common materials present in our daily life which are freely available in market .Magnetite nanocrystals are highly useful in arsenic remediation as arsenic contamination in groundwater is a severe global problem. In India, millions suffer from acute and chronic arsenic poisoning. It is possible to create functional and high-quality nanocrystals using this greener and cost effective method .Our research revealed that the costs of the starting materials can be reduced by using this greener synthetic route
