The study detailed in the article has led to the creation of a novel botanical adsorbent. This adsorbent is formulated using a combination of chitosan, which is sourced from Apis mellifera (honeybees), and vermiculite. The primary application of this adsorbent is targeted towards the treatment of wastewater generated by the textile industry. The article also presents a comparative analysis of two distinct procedures: one involving organovermiculite and the other involving vermiculite that has been modified using hydrochloric acid. The objective of this research is to explore the potential of this newly developed adsorbent as an effective solution for treating wastewater generated by the textile sector. The inclusion of chitosan derived from Apis mellifera enhances the adsorption capabilities of the material. Additionally, vermiculite, a naturally occurring mineral with adsorption properties, is incorporated to further augment the adsorbent’s efficiency. The article systematically compares two methodologies for preparing the adsorbent: one involves the utilization of organovermiculite, while the other involves the modification of vermiculite through treatment with hydrochloric acid. This comparison delves into the nuances of each approach, assessing their respective effectiveness and potential advantages for textile wastewater treatment. This study underscores the innovative strides being taken in the field of wastewater treatment, utilizing unique combinations of natural materials to address environmental challenges posed by industries like textiles. The development of this botanical adsorbent demonstrates a promising approach to tackling wastewater issues and promoting sustainable practices within the textile sector.
