Abstract

Abstract In this study, the adsorption abilities of Russula brevipes (RB), Agaricus augustus (AA), and Fomes fomentarius (FF) were evaluated in Basic Red 18 (BR18) and Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) biosorption from textile effluent. The adsorbents were characterized via Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (SEM-EDS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT/IR). Fomes fomentarius presented a low sorption capacity contrary to the two other fungi (RB and AA). RB and AA were selected as potential adsorbents for BR18 and RBBR, respectively. The maximum BR18 removal efficiencies for 10, 25, and 50 mg/L were obtained after 60 min to be 90, 88, and 86%, respectively. The RBBR adsorption efficiencies were 96.4, 96, and 90% for dye concentrations of 10, 25, and 50 mg/L. The adsorption of BR18 onto the RB biomass followed the Freundlich isotherm, while Langmuir is the best isotherm for RBBR sorption's elucidation onto AA fungus biomass. The removal of BR18 by BR biomass was found to follow the pseudo-second order. In contrast, the adsorption of RBBR onto the AA biomass followed Lagergren's pseudo-first order. For both adsorbents, the adsorption was exothermic, feasible, and spontaneous in nature. Finally, the dyes' biosorption process was perfectly achieved onto fungi biomass via physisorption.

Highlights

The textile industry shows subsequent growth and contributes to countries’ economies, it still suffers from its toxic effluent (Dos Santos et al 2007)
To sum up all the reported results, Russula brevipes and Agaricus augustus successfully fulfilled their role as sorbent biomass respectively for Basic Red (BR18) and Remazol Blue R (RBBR)
For Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR), the maximum efficiency and adsorption capacity were obtained at pH 2, and pH increase reduced the removal efficiency and the adsorption capacity

Summary

Introduction

The textile industry shows subsequent growth and contributes to countries’ economies, it still suffers from its toxic effluent (Dos Santos et al 2007). Chemical, and combined physicochemical treatments have been employed (Collivignarelli et al 2019), Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) were applied in dye degradation (Pelin et al 2020; Saleh et al 2021a), though the removal of dye via various processes showed some limitations, basically in effectiveness and financial charges (Hadj et al 2019). The biosorption passes the mentioned limitation by providing more efficient sorption for the contaminated water with the lowest cost (Robinson et al 2001). This concept has attracted research attention since 1980, thanks to sorbent availability, effortless accessibility, and environmentally friendly property (Saleh et al 2019)
