Water and Wastewater Treatment
This study focused on removing methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions using microalga Scenedesmus regularis as a biosorbent. The biomass was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The difference in thermal...
Adsorption of Dyes Using Natural Minerals: A Review
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Adsorption is an effective and widely technique used for separation many pollutants from wastewater. Pollution of water with color material such as dyes is of environmental concern due to their toxicity and cause carcinogenic effects on human and aquatic life. These dyes are presented into the water...
