Wodyetia bifurcata (foxtail palm tree) leaves as a super-augmented instantaneous methylene blue remover from simulated water and wastewater.

Wodyetia bifurcata, also known as foxtail palm tree leaves, was tested for highly effective methylene blue (MB) removal from commercial and artificial effluent. BET surface area measurement, FESEM, FTIR, and pH were used to get information on the shape and structure of the particles. Several important factors were used to determine its adsorption activity, including intake concentration, contact duration, and pH level. Accelerated adsorption is seen in the experimental results, with more than 94% adsorption occurring successfully in the initial 12 min and reaching equilibrium within 15 min (% removal = 97.45%) at neutral pH. It was discovered that the maximum adsorption capacity was 58.74 mg g at 308 K. The adsorption procedure confirms an active adsorption process of linear and non-linear kinetics of pseudo-second order, and the adsorption path is well addressed by the Freundlich model both in linear and non-linear form, having an R value close to unity. Thermodynamic characteristics point to an exothermic, viable, spontaneous reaction with higher entropy. Utilizing a 1:1 MeOH/HO ratio, spent adsorbent may be readily regenerated by as much as 75% with a possible three-cycle usage. The practical application of biosorbents was confirmed by real-time effectiveness testing using MB-carrying industrial wastewater, and up to 45.75% adsorption was shown. A relative standard deviation confirmed statistical dependability. All things considered, the current material provides a clean and environmentally friendly way to remove MB dye from various wastewater types.
