The motivation behind this study stems from the growing demand for efficient and eco-friendly materials to remove organic dyes from aqueous environments. Traditional biomass raw materials, such as coconut shells, walnut shells, pomelo peels, and wheat straw, are often characterized by highly demanding acquisition conditions and high costs of procurement, which consequently limit their availability.
