Abstract

One of the most affected sources of pollution is water. The textile dyeing process is one of the many factors that lead to
water pollution. Some of the compounds like dyes and other chemicals if left untreated poses significant environmental
pollution and health risk. Amongst the various existing methods adsorption technique is highly effective for removing
such substances. In this study we have investigated, using of rice husk and corn husk as an eco-friendly and sustainable
bioadsorbents for removal of dyes. Rice husk due its porous structure and active functional group, and corn husk rich in
cellulose shows promising adsorption potential.
In our study, we assessed dye removal by measuring changes in absorbance noting a significant decrease as dyes were
adsorbed. Further we analyzed the combined effect of rice husk and corn husk which enhanced adsorption with a declined
in optical density confirming their binding. The optimal bioadsorbent blend offers a sustainable solution for treatment of
textile water. This optimal bioadsorbents were further used in sample obtained from textile industry. Parameters like
COD and chromatographic technique validates the findings highlighting the broader application of agricultural based
waste in dye removal and offers viable alternative for wastewater treatment.
