Abstract: ) onto its surface by co-precipitation method and characterized using SEM, XRD and FTIR. SEM analysis provided visual evidence of this deposition which was further confirmed by XRD and FTIR analysis. MBC was also effective in adsorbing more than 90 % of CV from aqueous solution though a decrease in adsorption capacity was observed. Adsorption data followed Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo second order kinetics. MBC is superparamagnetic and is strongly attracted to a small bar magnet, facilitating easy removal from water after CV adsorption.
