The study demonstrates the preparation of MnFe2O4 impregnated chitosan-microspheres (CMMS) as adsorbents for efficient removal of cationic thiazine dye, methylene blue. A facile approach with great economic and technical advantages to obtain highly crystalline manganese ferrite nanoparticles by solution combustion method is accounted. CMMS were characterized and evaluated for MB adsorption using linear forms of Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherms, pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order and Elovich kinetic models. Application of CMMS to pharmaceutical waste, desorption of MB and reusability of CMMS are reported. Significantly, MB concentration in treated real sample was reduced by ~ 18 times to that of initial concentration.
