“…Adsorption provides one of the best ways of dye removal and as such has been applied for Rh-B uptake with different adsorbents such silver nanoparticle from cobweb [3], activated carbon [4], ferrocene-functionalized carbon nanotubes [5], acid and alkaline-functionalized Musa paradisiaca biochar [6], nanocomposite hydrogel [7], animal bone meal [8], exhausted coffee ground [9], gelatin/activated carbon composite beads [10], Fe/ZnO-shell shrimp nanocomposite [11], polar-functionalized post-cross-linked resins [12], calcined egg shell [13], seeds of Aleurites moluccana [14], zinc oxide loaded activated carbon [15] and anodic porous alumina in sodium dodecyl sulphate solution [16] amongst other methods. Although, excellent adsorptions of Rh-B have been achieved with these adsorbents, drawbacks from their applications relating to limited abundance, low adsorption capacity, lack of reproducibility, renewability, biodegradability in addition to expensiveness and probable secondary pollution which could create distress in the environment required the use of biodegradable bio-composite which are abundantly available.…”
