Article Synopsis
- This study explores the use of bacterial cellulose (BC) and a composite of BC with locust bean gum (LBG) made from banana hydrolysate as adsorbents for organic dye removal, focusing on malachite green (MG).
- The BC/LBG(2%) composite showed improved swelling and textural properties while maintaining BC’s structure, resulting in an impressive MG adsorption capacity over 95% and 2000 mg/g, with a preference for MG against other dyes.
- The adsorption process involved both chemical and physical interactions and demonstrated excellent reusability, maintaining over 88% efficiency after five regeneration cycles, making it a promising option for treating MG-laden wastewater.
In this study, the effect of hydrothermal treatment with different temperatures (120-180 °C) on the rheological properties of xanthan gum was evaluated. When the temperature of hydrothermal treatment was relatively low (120 °C), the rheological properties of the hydrothermally treated xanthan gum was similar to the untreated xanthan gum (pseudoplastic and solid-like/gel-like behavior). However, as the temperature of hydrothermal treatment was higher, the rheological properties of the hydrothermally treated xanthan gum changed greatly (e.
