Abstract
AbstractThe water hyacinth plants are renewable natural biomass, proliferate ubiquitously, and abundant in water bodies often posing environmental nuisances. To overcome this problem, a novel approach that utilizes water hyacinth plant has to be arrived. This research work mainly deals with application of low cost, non-conventional, newly developed novel biomaterial, Effective Microorganisms (EM) based Water Hyacinth Compost as biosorbent for the removal of basic dyes from aqueous solution. Biosorption of basic dyes like Methylene Blue (MB), Malachite Green (MG), and Basic Blue 41 (BB41) was investigated using a biosorbent of EM based Water Hyacinth Compost. The biosorbent material was analyzed for physico-chemical composition such as pH, moisture content, organic carbon, nitrogen, etc. and also the biosorbent was characterized before and after adsorption using FTIR and SEM. The batch study was performed to optimize the operational parameters such as pH, biosorbent dosage, biosorbent particle size, and in...
