The discharge of large amounts of wastewater carrying various contaminants from many anthropogenic activities into the receiving water environment is a multidimensional issue negatively affecting the ecological system and natural balance in many ways. The removal of pollutants by the biologically-originated materials is an emerging area of interest due to profoundly their environmental friendliness, renewability, sustainability, readily availability, biodegradability, multiplicity, low (or no) economic cost, high affinity, capacity, and stability. In the present study, a popular ornamental plant, M.

The biowaste left over from the fixed oil biorefinery process of L. plant was used as a new biosorbent for the biosorption of synthetic dye of methylene blue from water environment in this study. The main variables of biosorption operation such as methylene blue concentration, time, pH, and biosorbent amount were optimized by the batch-type experiments.

Herein, malachite green was selected as a common agent to evaluate the biosorption efficiency of waste biomaterial. The bioremediation properties of biosorbent were studied in a controlled batch experiment system by the optimization practice of operating parameters like biosorbent quantity, medium pH, time, pollutant concentration and temperature, and kinetic, thermodynamic, equilibrium, and characterization operations.

Manganese was selected as a model heavy metal to evaluate the treatment efficiency of prepared biosorbent. The batch biosorption behavior of biosorbent was investigated by the characterization, parameters evaluation, kinetic and equilibrium studies.

This is the first report in the literature on the utilization of current modified biological waste as a biosorbent substance for the removal of manganese ions from the water environment. The analyses of biosorbent characterization, environmental condition, kinetic, equilibrium, and comparison were performed to introduce the ability of prepared biosorbent for the removal of manganese from the aquatic medium.
