Equilibrium Study, Modeling and Optimization of Model Drug Adsorption Process by Sunflower Seed Shells

The adsorption capacity of the medication methylthioninium chloride (MC) from aqueous solution onto sunflower seed shells (SSS), a low cost and abundant alternative adsorbent, was investigated in a batch system. The surface properties of the adsorbent were characterized by Fourier transform infrared...
