Scenedesmus regularis: An alternative biosorbent for the efficient and fast removal of methylene blue
Abstract:<p>This study focused on removing methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions using microalga Scenedesmus regularis as a biosorbent. The biomass was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The difference in thermal properties of the biomass was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption capacity of S. regularis was tested with different environmental key parameters (pH, temperature, biosorbent dosage, … Show more
