Removal Methyl Orange from Aqueous Solutions Using Dragon Fruit (Hylocereusundatus) Foliage.

In this study, dragon fruit foliage was used as an adsorbent for the removal of methyl orange from an aqueous solution. The influence of the initial dye concentration, contact time, pH, temperature, dosage of biosorbent and ion strength were investigated in batch experiments. The adsorption was eval...
