Starch/rice husk ash based superabsorbent composite: high methylene blue removal efficiency
Abstract
Superabsorbent hydrogels composites based on the biopolymer starch (ST) and rice husk ash (RHA) were successfully developed and tested towards the removal of methylene blue (MB), a cationic dye. RHA content hit the morphology, mechanical and water uptake properties of the composite. Batch adsorption experiments, carried out under pH 5 at 33 °C and with 2000 mg L−1 as the initial concentration of MB, showed that at 5 wt% RHA the composite...
