Adsorption of methylene blue onto coconut (Cocos nucifera) leaf: optimization, isotherm and kinetic studies
Fallen coconut leaves (CLs) are agricultural wastes largely available in Malaysia.In this study, we utilized CLs as a low-cost adsorbent for adsorptive removal of methylene blue (MB), a cationic dye from aqueous solution.Response surface methodology was employed to investigate the effects of operat...
