  • Comparison of adsorption capacity and selectivity with HPD 600.
  • Kinetic analysis using the Langmuir isotherm model.

    • Main Results:

    • Synthetic resin HPD 600 exhibited the highest adsorption capacity for catechins.
    • Tea stalk lignocellulose showed significant adsorption capacity and preferential selectivity for catechins.
    • Pine sawdust and sugarcane bagasse lignocelluloses had lower adsorption capacities.
    • Tea stalk lignocellulose adsorption kinetics followed the Langmuir isotherm model.
    • HPD 600 adsorbed both caffeine and catechins simultaneously.

    Conclusions:

    • Tea stalk lignocellulose is a viable, low-cost alternative adsorbent for preparing decaffeinated tea catechins.
    • Its preferential adsorption and selectivity make it suitable for catechin isolation.
    • Further research can optimize its use in industrial applications.
