Purification of aqueous fluids from basic fuchsine employing a new polymer of CMC-CMS hydrogel mixture: sustainability perspective.

ABSTRACT: Medical laboratory waste, generated during diagnostic and research activities, contains pathogenic microbes and carcinogenic chemicals that pose significant risks to environmental and human health. To address this issue, physicochemical treatment methods such as hydrogel-based adsorption have been explored. This study investigates the water layer adsorptive extraction of basic fuchsine and malachite green dyes from aqueous solutions using hydrogels prepared from carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and carboxymethyl starch (CMS) via a freeze-thawing physical cross-linking method. The hydrogels were characterized by mechanical properties including gel fraction, swelling ratio, and water content at varied CMC-CMS ratios. Adsorption experiments were conducted at an ambient temperature of 23 ± 2 °C,
