Biosorption of methylene blue and acid orange 7 by modified hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide rice husk

In this study, rice husk (RRH) was modified with surfactant (SMRH) to remove dyes in batch mode and was compared with unmodified rice husk (RRH). SMRH was prepared by mixing the RRH with different concentrations of cationic surfactant Hexadecyltrimethylammonium Bromide (HDTMABr). All samples were th...
