Highly efficient and selective Maerua subcordata tuber-derived activated carbons for enhanced removal of methylene blue from wastewater samples
Key Points
The aim is to evaluate the efficiency and selectivity of activated carbons derived from Maerua subcordata tubers for removing methylene blue dye.
Synthesis of activated carbons from Maerua subcordata tubers
Assessment of the adsorption efficiency for methylene blue
Comparison with traditional adsorption materials
Activated carbons showed high efficiency in removing methylene blue from wastewater samples
Selectivity for methylene blue indicates potential for environmental applications
Enhanced removal rates were observed compared to conventional methods
Abstract
The discharge of methylene blue dye from textile and pharmaceutical industries increasingly threatens environmental safety and human health by introducing toxic contaminants.
