Removal of Dyes from Aqueous Solution by Adsorption on Biomass of Mango (Mangifera Indica) Leaves
The potential feasibility of mango leaves powder (MLP) (Mangifera indica) for removal of dye (Grey BL) from aqueous solution was investigated. The effects of various experimental parameters were examined and optimal experimental conditions were decided. Above the value of initial pH 7, the dye studi...
