A comprehensive review of methylene blue dye adsorption on activated carbon from edible fruit seeds: A case study on kinetics and adsorption models

In recent years, several industries have discharged wastewater containing high quantities of dyes directly into the ecosystem, creating a significant environmental hazard due to the contamination of soil, groundwater, and surface water. The rapid growth of the textile industry has exacerbated this issue, as residual materials, particularly dyes, in treated wastewater contribute to environmental degradation. Recent studies have demonstrated that activated carbon is highly effective in removing cationic dye, specifically methylene blue (MB), from wastewater. Adsorption has become the most widely used separation technique due to its efficiency in contaminant adsorption. This study focuses on the use of both…
