Adsorption of toxic crystal violet dye using coffee husks: Equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamics study

Crystal violet (CV) dye is a water-soluble, toxic, recalcitrant organic dye that causes severe health problems and environment pollution. The current study assesses the potential of Waste Coffee Husks (WCH) in adsorption of crystal violet (CV) dye. Batch experiments were designed to determine the ef...
