Alkaline treatment of timber sawdust: A straightforward route toward effective low-cost adsorbent for the enhanced removal of basic dyes from aqueous solutions
The present study assesses the ability of two low-cost adsorbents – timber sawdust (TS–OH) and its alkaline treated analog (TS–ONa) – to remove two basic dyes, namely, Methylene Blue and Methyl Green, from aqueous solutions. The presence of new functional groups on the surface of TS–ONa resulted in...
