Abstract
concentration of persistent reactive dye. Moreover, the desorption capabilities of ZrAC were found to be more prominent, which finally affirms its potential use in a continuous flow system as a reusable adsorbent. Additionally, the stability of zirconium, corroborated from ICP-MS and XPS data, revealed the stability of zirconium after adsorption cycles thus verified its reusability. Thus, the characterization and experimental results of ZrAC strongly advocated its potential as a future adsorbent for removal of reactive dyes.
