Exploring Ficus religiosa inflorescence powder as an eco-friendly and sustainable solution for the removal of crystal violet with a disposal solution.

This study investigates the potential of using Ficus religiosa inflorescence (peepal tree) as an efficient solution for removing crystal violet from simulated and industrial wastewater. Various analyses were conducted to understand the adsorbent's structure, including particle morphology, BET surface area, FTIR, and pH. The adsorption process was studied under different physicochemical factors such as temperature, concentration, contact time, and pH.
