Abstract
- Membranes of keratin nanofibers (220Â nm diameter) were prepared by electrospinning.
- The membranes were tested as adsorbents for Methylene Blue dye from water.
- The adsorption capacity increases with increasing the initial dye concentration and pH.
- The adsorption capacity decreases with increasing the adsorbent dosage and temperature.
- Results suggest that keratin nanofibrous membranes could be promising dye adsorbents.
