abstract background: dyes are visible materials and are considered as one of the hazardous components that make up the industrial waste. dye compounds in natural water, even in very low concentrations, will lead to environmental problems. azo dyes are compounds with one or more –n=n– groups and are used in textile industry. because of its low price, solubility, and stability, azo dyes are widel...

This research was focused on the investigation of the efficacy of advanced oxidation processes (Fenton, ozonation and UV/H2O2) for decolorization of reactive azo dye (Blue CL-BR) using bleach wastewater as possible source of H202. All the experiments were performed on the laboratory scale set-up. The results showed that colour removal efficiencies by UV or bleach (H2O2) alone were not so effici...

The purpose of this research is to establish the experimental conditions for removal of Cibacron Brilliant Yellow 3G-P dye (CBY) from aqueous solutions by sorption onto coffee husks as a low-cost sorbent. The effects of various experimental parameters (e.g. initial CBY dye concentration, sorbent mass, pH, temperature) were examined and the optimal experimental conditions were determined. The re...

Different parameters were investigated to evaluate their effect on the process removal efficiency of reactive dye from simulated spent reactive dye bath, by solar / TiO2 / H2O2, including H2O2 concentration, TiO2 loading and pH. As a result 99% of reactive dye can be removed at a TiO2 loading of 400mg/l, H2O2 concentration of 150 mg/l and of pH: 5.2. The effect of photo-catalytic deactivation o...

Dyes are widely used in various industries, since theirdirect discharge to nature can cause many biological and environmental problems. Some of these dyes are toxic, carcinogenic and can cause skin and eye irritation. There are various dye removal techniques, but Adsorption found to be very effective and cheap method among the all available dye removal methods. The purpose of this study was to ...

Background: Synthetic dyes are serious pollutants and wide ranges of methods have been employed for their removal from aquatic systems. We studied the adsorption of "Nile blue A" (NBA), an anionic dye, from aqueous solution by oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Methods: Scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize ...

Textile industry effluents contain reactive dyes that may harm our receiving waters. A typical reactive blue (RB) 19 dye is frequently detected in significant concentrations in textile industry effluents. Such dyes have generally shown resistance to decomposition and tend to persist in the environment for long periods and multiply the impacts to water and environment. Therefore, the present inv...

The use of Azolla filiculoides (AF) for the removal of Acid Red 88 dye (AR88) from aqueous solutions at different contact times, temperatures, pH, adsorbent doses and initial dye concentration was investigated. The extent of dye removal decreased with increasing adsorbent dosage and AR88 concentration, also increased with increasing contact time and temperature. The adsorption isotherms are des...
