Adsorption of organic dyes using copper oxide nanoparticles: isotherm and kinetic studies

There are many methods to remove dyes from colored effluents to decrease their environmental impacts. Among the various methods, adsorption is a selective technology for dye removal. This research focuses on the adsorption of two cationic dyes, basic violet 16 (BV 16) and basic red 14 (BR 14), from textile effluent using copper oxide nanoparticles. The surface characteristics of copper oxide nanoparticles were investigated using scanning...
