Methylene blue is generally used as dyeing agent in textile, printing and pharmaceutical industries, which leads to the obtaining of large amounts of wastewater. The purpose of this study is to remove methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions using fir wood sawdust waste as low cost biosorbent material. In order to evaluate the adsorption process, analyses for determination of micrometric properties, infrared spectroscopy, optical microscopy and colorimetry were performed. To increase the efficiency of the process and the adsorption surface, the fir wood sawdust was grinded and sieved. Some specific parameters were varied in the experimental part in order to study the influence of the adsorbent support dose, concentration, temperature, contact time, volume and stirring rate. The removal efficiency of methylene blue dye was further studied for evaluating the adsorption capacity of the fir wood sawdust.

The textile industry, very important for the world economy, generates an effluent containing dyes, and which, when discarded in water bodies without proper treatment, can cause impacts to human health and the environment. One of these widely used dyes is methylene blue, whose characteristics are high solubility in water and its toxic potential, and which effects range from eye irritations, nausea, vomiting and even mental confusion. Among the potential adsorbents of this dye is chitin, which is a biopolymer extracted from the shrimp exoskeleton. Aiming at the development of a low-cost adsorbent material with potential use in the textile effluent treatment industry, the ability to remove methylene blue dye by shrimp residue chitin, obtained by eleven different methodologies, was verified. The three most efficient treatments reached approximately 75% of dye removal, proving the high adsorption power of shrimp residue. In addition to providing technological development of materials, the research brings socioeconomic benefits to the fishermen’s colony with the use of shrimp residue for the adsorption of other waste from the textile industry, contributing to the sustainability of both activities and reducing the environmental impact.

Dye wastewater has caused severe environmental and health problems. In this work, we have fabricated a novel low-cost membrane with good methylene blue dye adsorption and antibacterial property from naturally sustainable lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus).
