Abstract
=0.972) suggesting a uniform, monolayer, and homogeneous adsorption. Regeneration was successful with methanol (65%) and reusability was tested for three cycles and was found to retain activity up to 80%. Analysis of CV containing industrial effluent suggests that a 36.8% reduction is possible with BL. The effect of co-existent ions suggests little influence on the adsorption. Compared to other contemporary and relevant adsorbents, it can be concluded that BL can be exercised for the sustainable decontamination of CV-containing wastewater.
