This work reports the synthesis of an innovative multifunctional carbon nitride based adsorbent and its successful application for removal crystal violet (CV) methylene blue (MB) from wastewater. The functionalized graphitic (f/g-CN) was produced by pyrolysis melamine followed thermal alkali treatment to introduce OH, NH
