Biosorption of synthetic dyes from textile industrial effluent using waste papaya latex

Manimaran et al discuss their study which examine the effect of pH, adsorbent concentration, time, initial dye concentration and agitation speed on adsorption capacity of papaya latex as an adsorbent. The biosorption experiments were carried out in batch process by means of conical flask and agitated in a thermostated shaking incubator at rpm for a suitable contact time at different temperature range. The results revealed that waste papaya latex can be used as an eco-friendly and low-cost adsorbent in removal of reactive red dye and deep marine blue from textile effluent.
