Abstract:We established three nano-solid adsorbents: nanocellulose based on plant loofah sponge (NC), chitosan (CS), and nanocellulose/chitosan composite (CSC). These substances were employed as solid adsorbents to eliminate methylene blue (MB) dye from wastewater. Various characterization techniques were employed to investigate all the synthesized solid adsorbents, including TGA (thermogravimetric analysis), XRD (X-ray diffraction spectra), (BET) nitrogen gas adsorption-desorption, SEM (scanning electron microscope), … Show more
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.
