Abstract:The textile industry is a heavy producer of wastewater, which may result in the discharge of toxic dyes into the environment. Methylene blue (MB) is an example of the most used dye in the textile industry. It is difficult to degrade MB under normal conditions due to its highly stable molecules. Therefore, a catalyst route is desired in MB reduction. The catalyst chosen in this work was silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesised by a biological method utilising shortleaf spikesedge extract (SSE) as a reducing age… Show more
