Scalable Synthesis of Collagenic-Waste and Natural Rubber-Based Biocomposite for Removal of Hg(II) and Dyes: Approach for Cost-Friendly Waste Management.

ABSTRACT: For initiating a prosperous cost-friendly waste management of small-scale industries, cow buffing dust (CBD), one of the abundantly available semisynthetic collagenic solid wastes, has been used as a nonsulfur cross-linker of natural rubber (NR) for fabricating an NRCBD-biocomposite superadsorbent. The as-prepared reusable biocomposite bearing variegated collagenic and noncollagenic N-donors, along with the O-donors, has been reported for ligand-selective preferential superadsorption from waste water. Thus, a CBD and NR-based scalable biocomposite bearing optimum cross-linking, excellent physicochemical properties, and reusability has been developed via systematic optimization of the torque and reaction time for cost-friendly adsorptive exclusion of dyes, such as 2,8-dimethyl-3,7-diamino-p
