Pristine wild sugarcane () as a biosorbent for removal of methylene blue from wastewater: isotherm, kinetics and regeneration studies.

, popularly known as Kashful (KF) is a seasonal perennial grass with thin culms, mostly an abundantly growing shrub during the autumn season in southern Asia. It is used as no-cost scavenger to convincingly arrest methylene blue, a recalcitrant dye from colored effluent. FTIR, FESEM-EDX, and BET surface area characterize the material well whereas the surface activity was evaluated from zero-point charge (pH = 6.

Non-conventional, burnt leaf extract mediated green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles and facile removal of eriochrome black T dye from water.

The present study evaluates the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using water extract of Sal leaves ( for efficient removal of Eriochrome black-T from the water and wastewater. The material is characterized using FESEM, FTIR, EDX, pHzpc, XRD, BET, and TGA analysis. XRD confirmed the synthesis of ZnO with an average crystallite size of 35.

(cadamba) waste pulp as a natural and techno-economic scavenger for methylene blue from aqueous solutions.

In this work, (cadamba), also known as bur flower tree has been exercised to demonstrate as an excellent methylene blue scavenger from simulated as well as industrial wastewater. The particle morphology and structural insights were gained from FESEM, BET surface area, FTIR, and pH. The adsorption behavior was mapped by different physico-chemical parameters such as contact time, pH, input concentration, and temperature.

Augmented dye eradication from wastewater using alkali-aided, reinforced waste acacia () leaves.

The present investigation demonstrates the augmented dye scavenging from wastewater using alkali-mutated acacia () leaves powder. The material was synthesized by mild chemical activation by using 0.1 M sodium hydroxide as an activator under room temperature stirring for 3h and isolated as a dark brown powder.

Thiosulfate impregnated spent tea leaves for the remarkable uptake of malachite green.

Herein we demonstrate an enhanced performance of acid-assisted thiosulfate-impregnated spent/waste tea leaves (TWTL) for the removal of malachite green (MG) from water by batch mode. The material was characterized by pH, FTIR, powder XRD, SEM, and proximate analysis. FTIR suggests the presence of polyphenolic moieties whereas a lignocellulosic peak was observed in powder XRD.

Exploring the promising potential of fallen bamboo leaves () for efficient removal of crystal violet from wastewater.

Fallen bamboo leaves (), hereinafter BL have been designed to be transformed into an efficient and sustainable adsorbent for the removal of crystal violet (CV) dye from wastewater with up to 95% scavenging ability. BL have been characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and zero point charge (pHzpc). The maximum adsorption capacity is 30 mg/g at pH 10.

Brinjal stalk waste as an effective scavenger for Eriochrome Black-T from water and wastewater: an approach towards waste to best.

Stalks of brinjal (), hereinafter SM, have been exercised as an efficient and sustainable adsorbent material for the elimination of Eriochrome Black-T (EBT) from an aqueous solution. The material was characterized by FTIR, FESEM, BET surface area, pH, and proximate analysis. FTIR spectrum suggests the presence of polyphenolic moieties, responsible for successful dye binding.

Towards a win-win chemistry: extraction of C.I. orange from Kamala fruit (), and simultaneous exercise of its peels for the removal of Methylene Blue from water.

Kamala fruit (), hereinafter MP, has been simultaneously exercised for the extraction of a natural dye, C.I. orange and its peels were converted into an efficient adsorbent for the rapid removal of methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solutions.
