Baker’s yeast-MnO2 composites as biosorbent for Malachite green: An ecofriendly approach for dye removal from aqueous solution

In this study, baker’s yeast-MnO2 composites, produced by direct oxidation of yeast with KMnO4 under acidic conditions, were used as biosorbent to remove the triphenylmethane dye Malachite green (MG) from an aqueous solution. Parameters that influence the adsorption process, such as pH, contact time...
