“…[7] Different treatment techniques were used to remove dyes from contaminated wastewater, categorized as physicochemical, physical, chemical, adsorption, biological, and electrochemical. [8,9] By physically activating various agricultural wastes, micromesoporous activated carbons were created. The highest surface area was achieved by processing and optimizing agricultural wastes, including macadamia nut shells, corn cobs, bagasse bottom ash, sawdust fly ash, and rice husk fly ash.…”

“…Moreover, algae can be used as a raw material to produce activated carbon, a competitive alternative to other types. [ 8 ] Various treatment methods such as adsorption, bioremediation, photocatalysis, Fenton chemical oxidation, electrochemical degradation, ion exchange, and flocculation‐coagulation are considered conventional applied techniques for color removal industrial effluents. [ 9 ] Different traditional and non‐conventional adsorbents have received great attention over the last few decades.…”

Industrial dyes are considered one of the main causes of increased water pollution of water. Many businesses, such as steel and paper, are located along riverbanks because they require large amounts of water in their manufacturing processes, and their wastes, which contain acids, alkalis, dyes, and other chemicals, are dumped and poured into rivers as effluents. For example, chemical enterprises producing aluminum emit a significant quantity of fluoride into the air and effluents into water bodies. Fertilizer facilities produce a lot of ammonia, whereas steel plants produce cyanide. Many nations consider employing wastewater treatment plants using physical, biological, and chemical methods to clean the wastewater to address environmental crises. The treated water can be used for targeting the irrigation systems in its majority, as it is biologically acceptable for that specific use, industrial dyes are considered one of the leading causes of increased water pollution of water.

For example, chemical enterprises producing aluminum emit a significant quantity of fluoride into the air and effluents into water bodies.

Many nations consider employing wastewater treatment plants using physical, biological, and chemical methods to clean the wastewater to address environmental crises. The treated water can target the majority of irrigation systems, as it is biologically acceptable for that specific use, which economizes the use of freshwater sources for municipal use. This study presents a novel method for fabricating an efficient adsorbent sheet for wastewater treatment. The sheets are fabricated by combining sugarcane bagasse pulp as a scaffold with commercial, naturally activated carbon, and bimetallic‐prepared adsorbents. Sugarcane bagasse is utilized in producing activated carbon because of its high carbon contents, availability, and low cost. The prepared composite sheets are synthesized and investigated for pollutants removal of crystal violet (CV), methyl orange (MO), and Chromium (CI) dyes. Different weight ratios of activated carbon are used to form a bio‐composite mixed sheet. The formed sheets’ morphology is performed via a high scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). To determine the adsorption mechanism, the intra‐particle diffuse screening experiment is used to test the experimental data. All the prepared sheets can retain the pollutants, with the best removal efficiency of 98% for methyl orange adsorption onto the bio‐composite mixed sheet. The results of the parameter (time, concentration, and dose) sets provided valuable proof that the adsorption of methyl orange onto the bio‐composite sheet mixed with naturally activated carbon is an endothermic phenomenon involving physical adsorption.
