introduction: discharge of textile wastewater causes the reduction of sunlight penetration, interferes with the receiving waters ecology and damage the environment. the aim of this study was to determine the removal efficiency of reactive blue 19 dye from aqueous solutions by cuttlefish bone powder. materials & methods: this study was performed experimentally and in laboratory scale. in this re...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of nano-sized cellulose obtained from rice husk for Cr(VI) adsorption. The effect of operational parameters including initial pH (3-10), contact time (0-120 min), adsorbent dosage (0.2-1.5 g/L), and initial Cr(VI) concentration (5-50 mg/L) were investigated according to one factor at time method. The results showed, in pH=6, contact time=100 ...

Sawdust is obtained from naturally and easily available which is biodegradable. The bio sorption capacity of the sawdust for hexavalent chromium was studied at different solution pH values (1.5-6), initial metal concentration (50450 mg/L), adsorbent dose (1-7 g/L). The maximum adsorption of Cr (VI) is obtained at pH 1.5, initial concentration 50 ppm and adsorbent dose 5 g/l. The adsorption of c...

Palygorskite clay has been investigated as low cost and ecofriendly adsorbent for the removal Basic Red 2(BR-2) from aqueous solution. Batch adsorption studies are carried out by observing effect of amount of adsorbent dose, contact time, pH, initial concentration of ( BR-2) and particle size of adsorbent on the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent were studied. Adsorption data fits the Langmui...

background and purpose: generated dye wastewater by the textile industry is usually toxic, non-biodegradable and resistant in the environment. eggshell is one of the inexpensive material and for the reason the vesicular structures can be used as a proper adsorbent for pollutants removal. the aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of eggshell for removal of acid orange 2 dye from aqu...

The ability of a particular banana fibre in removing reactive dyes from textile wastewater was studied in the present work. Locally available ground seeded banana fibre of ≤ 212 μ was used as adsorbent. Initially the adsorbent was tested on standard Novacron Blue FN-R reactive dye solutions and then it was also applied to raw textile wastewater. The adsorbent was found very effective to remove ...

in this research feasibility study of using sewage sludge as an adsorbent for the removal of acidblue 25 dye was carried out. sewage sludge was first dried in an oven at 105° c for 24 hours. then the driedsludge was washed with hcl (98%) for two hours and then with distilled water to a ph of approximatelyneutral. then, it was carbonated and activated in a nitrogen-based electric furnace at 600c...
