Solid-Phase Removal of Vitamin B1 (Thiamine Hydrochloride) from Aqueous Media Using Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) Bagasse as an Eco-friendly Biosorbent

Abstract Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) (Saccharum officinarum) was employed as an efficient, economical, and eco-friendly solution for the biosorptive separation of thiamine hydrochloride (vitamin B1) from aqueous media. SEM microscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, and TGA/DTA techniques were used to examine the morphological and structural properties of the SCB biosorbent. Thiamine hydrochloride (THC) was eliminated by employing the batch technique while investigating the impact of several variables, including pH, contact time, the initial THC concentration, and the quantity of SCB biosorbent.
