Efficient removal of Brilliant Blue G (BBG) from aqueous solutions by marine Aspergillus wentii: Kinetics, equilibrium and process design

► Marine Aspergillus wentii was successfully used for removal of aqueous basic dye, Brilliant Blue G (BBG). ► The effect of pH on biosorption was thoroughly discussed. ► Biosorption of BBG was controlled by pore and surface diffusion ► A single stage batch biosorber was designed for the sorption of BBG.
