Utilizing Local Waste: Sustainable Adsorption of Reactive Blue 235 on Surfactant-Modified Bamboo Fibers by Samriti Vaid, Varinder Kaur, Sanyog Sharma, Anupinder Singh, Bhavna Vaid, Raj Kumar Arya, G. D. Verros

“…The magnitude of E obtained from Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm varying from 3.92 to 4.66 kJ/mol on increasing temperature from 298 K to 318 K suggests that adsorption of RB235 on BAT is a physisorption (value of E is between 1 and 8 kJ/mol). Delving into the thermodynamic aspects of the process, we calculated ΔH and ΔS to be 54.88 kJ/mol and 184.54 J/mol/K, respectively. …”
