The present study aims to determine the adsorption behaviour of methylene blue (MB) dye based on calix[8]arene-modified lead sulphide (PbS) nanoadsorbents under optimal conditions. Response surface methodology (RSM) was executed to evaluate the interactive effect of three factors (adsorbent dosage,...
