Development of fast and high-efficiency sponge-gourd fibers (Luffa cylindrica)/hydroxyapatite composites for removal of lead and methylene blue

Oxidized-fibers, cellulose, and oxidized-nanocellulose were isolated from sponge-gourd fibers (Luffa cylindrica) and used as natural, non-toxic, and low-cost adsorbents. The effect of three luffa forms with or without hydroxyapatite (HAp) on the removal efficiency of lead ions (Pb2+) and methylene b...
