Dye removal from aqueos solution by using treated sugarcane bagasse at various pH

The use of low cost, recycled waste and ecofriendly adsorbents has been investigated as an alternative method for replacement of currently expensive method for removing dyes from wastewater. In this study, sugarcane bagasse - an agro industry waste were used to remove the dyes from the aqueous solut...
