Bioadsorption of pollutants by Parthenium hysterophorus weed.

S. number	Adsorbed pollutant	Adsorbent	References
1	Leather dye-acid blue 92	Parthenium leaves ash	[127]
2	Chloride (30–34% reduction at low level of pollution)	Parthenium dried biomass	[128]
3	Safranin dye (rapid removal in 40 min)	Parthenium biomass	[129]
4	Cd (II) ions (99.7% achieved adsorption efficiency; 82% recovery by desorption)	Parthenium biomass	[130]
5	Cr (VI) (endothermic adsorption @ 63.97%)	Parthenium ash	[131]
6	p-Cresol	Activated carbon (prepared at high temp. using H2SO4)	[132]
7	Nickel (II) (exothermic adsorption)	Parthenium ash	[116]
8	Rhodamine-B	Formaldehyde treated Parthenium biomass (more efficient) and phosphoric acid treated Parthenium carbon	[133]
9 (a); (b); (c); (d)	Malachite green; Methylene blue; Phenol; Hg	Activated carbon from Parthenium	[134]; [135]
