“…In this way, the adsorption of the contaminant in the solution onto the solid surface occurs. In the adsorption process, biological agents such as algae and bacteria are used (living or dead forms) (Giannakoudakis et al, 2018;Majhi and Patra, 2020;Venkataraghavan et al, 2020), as well as biopolymers like alginate (Üçüncü Tunca et al, 2017;Vu et al, 2017;Xia et al, 2018) are developed as adsorbents. Research continues to find new, inexpensive, and efficient adsorbents for removing dye and metal ions from wastewater.…”

This study's objective was to develop a model to determine dye adsorption efficiency of Treptacantha barbata (Stackhouse) Orellana& Sansón, 2019 (formerly Cystoseira barbata (Stackhouse) C. Agardh, 1820). During the experiments, treatment groups, such as initial dye Methylene Blue (MB) concentration (0.1-10.0 mg L-1), contact time (5 to 1440 min) and adsorbent dosage (0.1-2 g) were applied. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy were used to analyze the adsorbent. T. barbata was found to be quite successful in removing dye (69% -100%) for all experiments, and the qe values increased with the increased the initial dye concentration. Very rapid dye removal was detected during the first contact time, especially up to 15 min. Isotherms, kinetics, and regression models were applied to the batch experimental results. The results displayed that adsorption process was suitable with the Langmuir isotherm model (R2: 0.97).
