Utilization of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) rinds as a natural low-cost biosorbent for adsorption of methylene blue: kinetic, equilibrium and thermodynamic studies

This work presents the viability of biomass waste watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) rinds (WMR) as low-cost adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. The physicochemical properties of WMR were characterized using instrumental analyses such as CHNS-O analyzer, Brunauer-Emme...
