When all the results were examined, it was observed that the colour removal efficiency was significantly lower in metalazo and copper formazan-based reactive dyes, whereas colour removals ranging from 93% to 98% could be obtained in bisazo, triphendioxazine, monoazo, anthraquinone and phthalocyanine dyes. With the use of dendrimer, the best colour removal efficiencies occurred at pH 3. However, it was found that the centrifugation time of 15 min is sufficient for all dyes, and a longer centrifugation does not provide any additional benefit in terms of colour removal.en10.1111/cote.12786info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTextile Waste-WaterModified Magnetic NanoparticlesAdsorbentsNanofiberArticleN/AWOS:0013018931000012-s2.0-85202847223Q3
