This adsorbent was then exploited for the removal of Malachite Green (MG) and Rhodamine B (RB) dyes. MG has shown faster adsorption kinetics and equilibrium was attained in 15 mins. and 90 mins. for MG and RB, respectively. IDA-GMA-g-PET fibers showed 100% removal efficiency for MG and RB dyes from the solutions having initial concentrations of 300 mg L?1and 200 mg L?1, respectively. Desorption conditions of dyes and reusability of the fibers were also investigated....eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessPoly(Ethylene Terephthalate) FibersPoly(Ethylene Terephthalate) FibersGraft PolymerizationGraft PolymerizationRemovalRemovalCationic DyeCationic DyeArticle----10.1080/25740881.2019.1669650Q2N/A
