MUMBAI, India, July 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611039689 A) filed by Galgotias University on March 30, 2026, for A Sustainable Corn Cob Fiber-Based Biosorbent System For Efficient Removal Of Cationic Dyes From Wastewater.
Inventors include Shivam Rajput; and Dr. Rishabha Malviya.
The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a sustainable biosorbent system derived from corn cob fiber for the removal of cationic dyes from wastewater. The fiber is extracted using dewaxing, alkaline treatment, and bleaching processes to obtain a cellulose-rich material with enhanced adsorption properties. The biosorbent exhibits high efficiency in removing methylene blue dye under optimized conditions, with adsorption following Temkin isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics. The process is spontaneous and endothermic in nature. The invention provides a cost-effective, renewable, and environmentally friendly solution for wastewater treatment, offering significant potential for large-scale environmental remediation applications.
