Preparation of bioadsorbents for effective adsorption of a reactive dye in aqueous solution

The surface of barley straw, an agricultural waste, was modified chemically using a cationic surfactant hexadecylpyridinium chloride monohydrate (CPC) and used as an adsorbent for removal of Reactive Blue 4 (RB4) from aqueous solution. The raw and surfactant-modified barley straws (SMBS) were charac...
