Enhanced Removal Efficiency of Malachite Green Dye Using Gambir Leaf Extract-Modified NiFe LDH Composites: A Study of Cationic Dye Adsorption by Jefri Jefri, Najma Annuria Fithri, Aldes Lesbani

“…The BET analysis indicated a decrease in the surface area of NiFe-UG LDH compared to that of NiFe LDH, suggesting that active compounds from the gambier leaf extract effectively coated the LDH surface and blocked its pores. During malachite green (MG) adsorption, NiFe-UG demonstrated faster adsorption kinetics and a higher adsorption efficiency, reaching 96.420% compared to 92.085% for NiFe LDH. …”
