Batch and fixed bed column studies for the removal of Indosol Yellow BG dye by peanut husk
Sana Sadaf,Haq Nawaz Bhatti +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the biosorption potential of peanut husk biomass in batch and continuous mode study and found that the process was exothermic in nature, and different important process parameters like pH, contact time, biosorbent dose, initial dye concentration and temperature were optimized during batch experiments.
