Abstract
values 0.8748 and 0.9524 obtained indicate that the dye is favorably adsorbed on both adsorbents. Kinetics data analysis has shown that methylene blue adsorbed on the fungus showed pseudo-second-order chemisorption and film as well as intra particle diffusion. These results reveal that the abovementioned fungi can be used as good sources for the uptake of the MB dye.
