Abstract
AbstractDye‐containing waste should be carefully treated using environmentally friendly technology to prevent environmental harm and preserve water resources. Adsorptive membranes are a promising new approach for decreasing, recovering, and reusing waste while also removing contaminants like dyes. In this work, two different techniques are employed to create membranes using sugarcane bagasse pulp and carbon from charcoal. In the first technique, the surface of sugarcane bagasse is coated with charcoal paste as shown in Figure 1, while in the second, the carbon is combined with sugarcane bagasse pulp particles before being formed into sheets. It is discovered that the manufactured membranes has micron‐sized pores. It is discovered that the mixed‐fabricated membrane has a 99.4% better efficiency than the coated one. The membranes' surfaces are characterized using FTIR and SEM analysis.
