Removal of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution by Non-Living Biomass of Marine Algae and Freshwater Macrophyte

The adsorption of Methylene Blue, a Basic dye, onto the nonliving biomass of marine algae and freshwater macrophyte was investigated by batch experiments. Such adsorption onto both adsorbents was pH-independent. The experimental data were analyzed using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kin...
