Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates effective removal of methylene blue in aqueous solutions, indicating potential for sustainable wastewater treatment.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the efficiency of cellulose-based adsorbents derived from invasive weeds for the removal of methylene blue dye from water.
  • Synthesized cellulose nanomaterials from invasive weed plants: CNPD and CNP.
  • Conducted batch experiments varying temperature, pH, and dye concentration.
  • Performed kinetic and thermodynamic analyses to assess adsorption performance.
  • Maximum adsorption capacities reached 43.4 mg/g for CNPD at 65 °C and 40.5 mg/g for CNP.
  • Equilibrium fits the Freundlich isotherm, indicating multilayer adsorption.
  • CNPD retained ∼55% initial efficiency after 10 cycles, while CNP maintained ∼50% after six cycles.
