An agricultural waste and eco-friendly biosorbent i.e. rice husk has been used as a cheap adsorbentfor the removal of methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions. The physical properties of the developedadsorbent were characterized using FTIR. The study was realized using batch experiments. The effectsof contact time, pH, initial dye concentration, biosorbent dose and temperature were investigate...

In this study, the oxidation of dye from colored wastewater by H2O2/ MWCNT’s multi walls carbon nano tubes solution assisted with UV radiation was investigated. Disperse Blue 56 DB 56 was used as a model dye. Adsorption behavior of DB56 from aqueous solution onto MWCNT’s was investigated under various conditions such as initial pH value, dye concentration, H2O2 and MWCNT’s dosage. Maximum adsor...

In this study, the adsorption of Reactive blue 19 onto pomegranate residual-based activated carbon PRAC was investigated in aqueous solution. The activated carbon prepared by phosphoric acid activation under air condition. PRAC was characterized for its surface chemistry by point of zero charge measurements, Scanning Electron Microscopy and nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. The effect of operational...

A microphase adsorption-spectral correction (MPASC) technique was established, which consists of Langmuir adsorption and the spectral correction technique. The hypothesis of a microelectric field formed in macromolecules is proposed, the existence of which results in the adsorption and aggregation of dye molecules in macromolecules. This paper describes the spectrophotometric analysis of protei...

Studies of the adsorption of acid dyes of the fluorane series have shown that more of the dye is adsorbed by bacteria under acid conditions than under basic or neutral conditions (Harris, 1949). The amount of dye adsorbed was also found to be related to the ionization of the dye molecule. Since both the bacterial cell and the dye anion carry negative charges, these findings suggest that as the ...

Graphene oxide (GO) sheets exhibit superior adsorption capacity for removing organic dye pollutants from an aqueous environment. In this paper, the facile preparation of GO/polyethylenimine (PEI) hydrogels as efficient dye adsorbents has been reported. The GO/PEI hydrogels were achieved through both hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions between amine-rich PEI and GO sheets. For both m...

Exfoliated graphitic nanoplatelets (xGnPs) have been utilized as a potential adsorbent for toxic textile dye Acid Orange 7 (acid dye). The effects of major variables governing the efficiency of the process, such as temperature, initial dye concentration and pH are studied. The kinetic measurements have been used for determining the specific rate constant, confirming the applicability of pseudo ...

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...

The surfaces of NaY zeolite particles were modified by the alkylsilylation of n-octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS). Two kinds of modified NaY zeolites were prepared; one with its external surface partially and the other fully covered with alkylsilyl groups. Since the size of OTS is bigger than the pore diameter of NaY, it is attached on the external surface, leaving the internal pore accessible to ...

Application of activated carbon developed from rice husk, an agricultural waste product has been investigated for the removal of malachite green from aqueous solutions and wastewaters. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out for the removal of malachite green from aqueous solutions onto rice husk activated carbon. Effect of important parameters namely initial concentration of dye and cont...
