This phase aims to focus on sequestration of Oxyfluorfen from liquid media engaging Elephas maximus dung (EMD), a natant biowaste, infrequently reported somewhere. Attention is sought on Oxyfluorfen, one of ultimate employed herbicides for ruling the growth of annual broadleaf and grassy weeds. Oxyfluorfen is top-secret as low severe toxicity compound by the World Health Organization (WHO) and by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).  However, appropriate disposition of redundant Elephas maximus excrement (EMD) is critical for environmental protection through exercise of resources. The experiment is start in batch mode accompanying various functional elements such as atom size, primary Oxyfluorfen concentration, MEMD dosage, contact opportunity, pH, and temperature.  The results, that were evaluated using isothermal and energetic models, suggest that the Langmuir isotherm and Pseudo II Order energetic model suit the data well, with the maximum amount of oxyfluorfen eradication of 88.9%.  It has been driven that Elephas maximus dung (EMD) powder has the highest potential for the preoccupation of Oxyfluorfen, hence advocating an alternative environmentally benign procedure, established the derived remarks, supported by theoretical estimates.
