        abstract = {The purpose of this work is to investigate the effects of dye removal on the structure and characteristics of graphene oxide. Hummers' approach, which is distinct from the modified Hummers method, was used to extract GO from graphite flakes. Using this technique, an ice bath and sodium nitrate were used to create the experiment. Then, utilizing disodium ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid and the graphene oxide immersion method, EDTA-functionalized corncob (EDTA-corncob) and EDTA/graphene oxide functionalized corncob (EDTA-Graphine Oxide/corncob) were created. SEM and FTIR spectroscopy were used to characterize EDTA-corncob and EDTA-Graphine Oxide /corncob. Based on this, methylene blue was used as the adsorbate while the adsorption characteristics of EDTA-corncob and EDTA- Graphine Oxide/corncob were investigated. The effect of samples on methylene blue's adsorption qualities at various periods, temperatures, and pH levels was used to find the best adsorption settings, and the samples reusability was investigated. The outcomes demonstrated that methylene blue's adsorption ability on EDTA-Graphine Oxide/corncob was greater than that of natural corncob and EDTA corncob. According to this study, EDTA-Graphine Oxide/corncob is a reusable adsorbent that works quickly, cheaply, and effectively to remove dye from waste water.},
