Industrial wastes with hazardous dyes serve as a major source of water pollution, which is considered to have an enormous impact on public health. In this study, eco-friendly adsorbent, the porous siliceous frustules extracted from diatom species Halamphora cf. salinicola, grown under laboratory conditions, has been identified. The architecture and negative surface charge pH 7, provided by various functional groups via Si–O, N–H, O–H these surfaces, revealed SEM, N2 adsorption/desorption...
Abstract In the present paper, for first time ability of porous biosilica originated from three marine diatom strains ‘ Nanofrustulum spp.’ viz. N. wachnickianum (SZCZCH193), shiloi (SZCZM1342), cf. (SZCZP1809), to eliminate MB aqueous solutions was investigated. The highest biomass achieved under silicate enrichment and (0.98 g L −1 DW 0.93 respectively), 15 °C N . (2.2 DW). siliceous skeletons were purified with hydrogen peroxide characterized by SEM, EDS, 2 adsorption/desorption, XRD,...
