Abstract

In this study, Earliella scabrosa naturally available medicinal fungus has been introduced for the removal of Bromocresol green from aqueous solution. This fungus can also be grown in suitable environmental conditions and growth medium. Structural properties of this fungus were characterized by different analytical methods. Evaluation of equilibrium studies as a function of pH, dye concentration, adsorbent dose, contact time for the uptake capacity of the biosorbent was performed. The well-known Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were used to study the adsorption isotherm. The Langmuir uptake capacity was calculated to be 103.09 mg/g for E. scabrosa. Kinetic procedure revealed the adsorption process followed pseudo-second-order model and intraparticle diffusion. The performance of E. scabrosa fungus with multiple medicinal benefits was appreciable in comparison with the recently reported Ziziphus nummularia (6.21 mg/g) and cadmium hydroxide nanowires loaded on activated carbon which reported a close value of 108.7 mg/g.
