This study aims to develop an alternative method in the green synthesis of zero valent iron (ZVI) fromtea leaves extract and its application as a Fenton catalyst for textile dyes removal. Tea leaves extracthaving high polyphenolic contents were used as reducing agents in this study and the ZVI obtainedfrom them was characterized by UV-VIS, SEM-EDS, FTIR, PSA and XRD techniques. The synthesizedzero valent iron (ZVI) was utilized as a Fenton like catalyst for textile dyes removal. The resultsshowed that this system was highly efficient regarding the dyes removal of about 95.96% using 80mg/L ZVI. Moreover, using 100 mg/L ZVI, the COD number reduced to 94.68%.
