A carbon sorbent derived from an agricultural waste, jackfruit peel was applied to study the removal of a basic dye, rhodamine-B from aqueous solution. Batch experiments were performed as a function of process parameters like agitation time, initial dye concentration, temperature, carbon dose and pH. Modified Ritchie second order equation better predicted the kinetic results compared to other r...

Introduction: Textile industries produce large volume of colored dye effluents which are toxic and removal of dyes from wastewater is a significant environmental issue. Advanced oxidation process (AOPs) is alternative method for the complete degradation many organic pollutants. ZnO and TiO2 are important photocatalysts with high catalytic activity that have attracted much research attention. ...

Background: Dyes can cause many problems in environment. Therefore, removal of these contaminants before discharging wastewater to environment can reduce the environmental hazards. Adsorption is one of the usual processes for decolorizing from wastewater. Nanotubes are new adsorbents that can adsorb different compounds. This work aimed to investigate Acid violet 17 dye removal by adsorption usi...

In this study, the MgCl2/red mud system (MRM) was used to investigate the color removal efficiency of dye solutions. Parameters such as the effect of the dosage of red mud (RM) and MgCl2 have been studied. The effect of pH on the conversion rate of Mg2+ has also been studied. The color removal efficiency of MRM was compared with that of PAC/RM and PAC/NaOH. Meanwhile, the color removal efficien...

Taguchi optimization method (L32 orthogonal array) was applied as an experimental design to determine optimum conditions for methylene blue dye removal from aqueous solutions by electrocoagulation (EC). Various electrocoagualtion parameters such as initial pH, time of electrolysis, concentration of dye, electrodes gap, applied current, solution temperature, amount of supporting electrolyte, des...

The removal of Methylene Blue dye from aqueous solution using a biowaste, dried Blue Green Algae was investigated in terms of variation of initial concentration of the dye solution, adsorbent dosage and pH. The optimum pH for the removal of dye by adsorption was found to be pH 7. The data obtained in this study fitted with Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The experimental data conf...
