Removal of methyl red from aqueous solution using dried water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes)
Colouring effluent from industrial activities such as methyl red may affect environment and human health. Many methods have been used to decolourise such effluent including using low cost adsorbent. The objective of this study is to study the adsorption of methyl red from aqueous solution using drie...
