Adsorption Of Methylene Blue Onto Modified Factory Tea Waste: Batch And Fixed Bed Column

The aim of this work was to investigate the feasibility of chemically modified agricultural waste, namely factory tea waste (R-TW) for adsorption of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. The results revealed that modification of R-TW with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) w...
