Abstract
values of 0.999 (linear) and 0.998 (nonlinear), indicating monolayer adsorption. Thermodynamic analysis confirmed that the process is spontaneous and endothermic. Notably, the composite exhibited excellent reusability, maintaining over 90 % efficiency after 5 cycles. These results highlight the Alg@ZIF-8/MO-NBC composite as a promising, sustainable material for advanced wastewater treatment applications.
