Table 8 Correlation values and observed parameters obtained from adsorption isotherms for the removal of MG dye by rGO/ -Fe2O3 nanocomposite. The adsorption conditions were pH 8, 122 mg/100 mL rGO/-Fe2O3 dose, 113 min contact time, 25 °C temperature and different MG dye solutions (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 min).
