Removal of dye methylene blue from water using quince fuzz, alow-cost sorbent

Quince fuzz was used for removal of methylene blue from waterin a batch sorption system. The fuzz was activated with HNO3prior to use.Amount ofmethylene blueremoved was determined with monitoring the absorbance of the dyeremained in water on a UV-vis spectrophotometer.After optimizing different parameters affecting the dye removal, thesorption capacity was calculated to be 12.5 mg/g.So, a green, low-cost and effective approach was roposed which can be applied for removal of methylene blue from water and wastewater.
