Change of MB concentration in aqueous phase as the adsorption process advanced was followed by using visible spectroscopy. The diffusion of MB through the composites exhibited non-Fickian behavior with a diffusivity of 10(-11) m(2)s(-1). Making use of such PVC-silica composite sheets as column packing, the packing time will be reduced and the surface available for diffusion will be increased.en10.1177/096739111302100309info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPVC-silica compositesMethylene BlueAdsorptionWater soluble dyeMethylene Blue adsorptionArticle213177181WOS:000324846300010Q3Q4
