Adsorptive-removal of bromothymol blue & keto-bromothymol blue from wastewater using antioxidant curcumin: thermodynamic assessment, kinetic and isotherm modeling.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Our research objective is using a spectrophotometer method at a wavelength of 430 nm to explore the removal of bromthymol blue (BTB) & keto-bromothymol blue (KBTB) dyes utilizing curcumin (CUR) as an adsorbent. The impacts of several factors such as initial dye concentration, adsorbent dose, contact time, and temperature, were examined. The adsorption equilibrium data were assessed utilizing Langmuir and Freundlich, as well as an appropriate reaction mechanism, were put forth and discussed. CUR, (CUR -BTB) and (CUR -KBTB) dye were confirmed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) techniques. The highest percentages of curcumin elimination of BTB, KBTB were 43 & 90%, respectively, at 430 nm and 25 °C, and dye adsorption by the adsorbent increased with increasing initial dye concentration but decreased with increasing adsorbent dose. First-order kinetic models in elimination of BTB and KBTB with correlation 0.97 & 0.98, respectively, were fitted using the experimental data for removal of BTB & KBTB by CUR. This demonstrated that chemisorption, which involves valence forces through the sharing or exchange of electrons, is the rate-limiting phase. Hence, the exothermic nature of BTB adsorption onto CUR is indicated by the negative value of ΔH°(-54.216 kJmol
