Biological activities and biosorption potential of red algae (Corallina officinalis) to remove toxic malachite green dye.

ABSTRACT: This research aims to use eco-friendly Corallina officinalis as an adsorbent for removing harmful malachite green dye streams from industrial effluent, promoting sustainable living and effective microbial growth inhibition. Corallina officinalis biomass was tested for textile dye biosorption, as well as its antibacterial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic properties. The effects of certain parameters, involving pH solution, initial dye concentration, algae dose, and contact time, were investigated on the sorption of dye. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy were also used and, the results showed that the functional groups on the surface of algae played an important part in the biosorption process. It was noted that the kinetic data were significantly prominent
