Breadnut peel as a highly effective low-cost biosorbent for methylene blue: Equilibrium, thermodynamic and kinetic studies

This work reports the potential use of peel of breadnut, Artocarpus camansi, as an effective low-cost biosorbent for the removal of methylene blue (MB). Oven dried A. camansi peel (ACP), which had a point of zero charge at pH = 4.8, showed maximum biosorption capacity which was far superior to most...
