Applicability of dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peels as low-cost biosorbent for adsorption of methylene blue from aqueous solution: Kinetics, equilibrium and thermodynamics studies
This study evaluated the feasibility of utilizing agricultural waste dragon fruit (Hylocereus undatus) peels (DFP) as natural low-cost adsorbent to remove cationic dye methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. The physicochemical compositions of the DFP were characterized using CHNS-O analysis, X-r...
