Description

Magda A Akl, Azza A Fahim, and Aya G Mostafa tested whether sugarcane bagasse, the fibrous waste left after juice extraction, can clean dye from water in two steps. Plain bagasse first took up a negatively charged red dye. The dye-loaded material was then reused, without any cleaning step, against two positively charged dyes.

Lab tests tracked how acidity, contact time, dye strength, and dose changed uptake, and the team checked the materials with several standard tools. Top capacities reached about 99 milligrams per gram for the first dye and far higher values for the later dyes. Trials in drug waste and real water samples removed more than ninety percent of the colour, which the authors offer as a low-cost reuse route for farm waste.
