Adsorption of rhodamine B by acid activated carbon- thermodynamic and
equilibrium studies

Abstract :

The highly saline adaptable species of cyanobacteria viz., Phormidium fragile and Oscillatoria curviceps showed high potential for reclamation of alkaline soil with P. fragile being more effective. pH, electrical conductivity and exchangeable sodium percentage were reduced significantly due to the treatment of these cyanobacteria. Paddy grown in alkaline soils treated with these cyanobacteria had higher chlorophyll content, shoot length, root length, fresh weight, dry weight and grain weight.
