Acidified coconut husk as a potential biosorbent for adsorption of textile dye reactive yellow 160

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of acidified coconut husk as a biosorbent for removing reactive yellow 160 dye from water.
• Conducted adsorption experiments with acidified coconut husk.
• Measured the maximum adsorption capacity (Qmax) for reactive yellow 160.
• Assessed the feasibility of coconut husk in aqueous environments.
• Achieved a maximum adsorption capacity (Qmax) of 35.97 mg/g for reactive yellow 160.
• Demonstrated that acidified coconut husk is a feasible adsorbent for dye removal.
• Measuring the efficiency indicated a strong potential for textile dye remediation.
