Chicken feet yellow membrane waste as new bio-adsorbent for cationic methylene blue dye removal: adsorption, equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies

Background and objective: Dye molecules as an important type of organic pollutants are potentially toxic and have carcinogenic and mutagenic impact on living systems. Today, uncontrolled discharge of organic pollutants is environmental problem. Dissolution of synthetic dyes in aqueous media causes decreased light penetration into water and interferes photosynthesis reactions. This research introduces a new and eco-friendly adsorbent based on...
