Biosorption of basic dyes by water hyacinth roots

Laboratory investigations of the potential of the biomass of non-living, dried, roots of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) to remove two basic dyes, methylene blue and Victoria blue, from aqueous solutions were conducted. Parameters studied included pH, sorbent dosage, contact time and initial c...
