Removal of malachite green from aqueous solution by using dried water hyacith (Eichhornia crassipes)

This paper shows a detailed study to investigate the potential of water hyacinth as adsorbent, to remove Malachite Green from aqueous solution and to identify the optimum condition for the parameter involved. There were four parameters that have been studied in this paper, they were effect of adsorb...
