Bacteria cellulose (BC) is a non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and biodegradable material. Additionally, it is a cheap, easily accessible, and renewable resource. It possesses exceptional properties and is widely used in a variety of industries, including textiles, paper manufacturing, food, pharmaceutical, and waste treatment. The purpose of this study was to assess the capacity for bioadsorption of pure BC in its wet and dry forms . After 210 minutes of incubation at 37°C, 120 rpm, wet and dry BC exhibit the maximum decolorization of Crystal violet (100 mg/L) at 62.72% and 71.32%, and Congo red (100 mg/L) at 44.28% and 35.23%, respectively. Additionally, the characterization and kinetic model of BC were investigated in parallel. In summary, the findings of this work imply that the application of BC in bioadsorption of dyes may be a potential and successful method for solving the concerns of environmental pollution in a way that is low-cost, simple, and environmentally friendly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
