The adsorption removal of Triphenylmethane & Xanthene dyes onto a low-cost coal based adsorption (Charfines) and its efficiency in dye colour sorption was compared with activated carbon (F-400). Batch studies were performed and the results revealed that Charfines demonstrated on ability to adsorb the reactive Triphenylmethane & Xanthene dyes. The sorption interaction of reactive dye on to Charf...

This study investigates the adsorption behavior of Reactive Black 5 (RB) and Reactive Yellow 176 (RY) from aqueous solution on coal fly ash (FA-CO), HCl-treated coal fly ash (TFA-HCl), and biomass fly ash (FA-BM). In preliminary study, the FA-BM showed the greatest dye adsorption capacity of both dyes, compared to FA-CO and TFA-HCl. Hence only for the FA-BM, the effects of various experiment pa...

Bentonite bleaching earth is utilized for purifying used motor oil through a recovery process in order to improve the quality and stability of the final product. Indeed, spent bleaching earth is generated due to adsorbing oil impurities. Polluted spent bleaching earth contains 20-40% (w/w) oil and is flammable. Its disposal without pre-treatment leads to loss of oil along with environmental imp...

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...

    Background & Aims of the Study: Textile wastewaters are very various in chemical qualities. In other words, these industries are one of the largest producing dyes compounds; therefore their treatment is so complex and difficult. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential removal of Reactive Red 198 and Blue Reactive 19 from synthetic solution by Acaciatortilis shu...

Background & objectives: Dyes are structurally complex materials, which enter into the environment due to discharging of textiles effluent from dyeing and printing processes. Reactive Blue 52 dye is used widely in the textile industry. Therefore, we investigated the efficiency of the filamentous Alga as natural adsorbent in the removal of Reactive Blue 52 dye from textile wastewater. Methods: ...

The textile dyes are considered as major environmental problems. The dyes can be removed by various methods. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the adsorption rate of Reactive Red 198 (RR198) from aqueous solution by activated Azolla filiculoides. This was an empirical-lab study. The Azolla was used as an adsorbent to remove Reactive Red 198 dye. The effect of various parameters was invest...

Selective polymeric extractants were prepared for preconcentration of Cibacron reactive red dye, a dye that is often applied with Cibacron reactive blue and Cibacron reactive yellow for dyeing of fabrics. The best extractant was fabricated (in chloroform) using methacrylic acid (as monomer), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (as crosslinker), AIBN (as initiator for polymerization), and red dye as ...

low-cost grapefruit peel (agricultural waste) was used for removal of reactive blue19 dye fromaqueous solutions. the process was studied as a function of contact time, initial dye concentration andph. adsorption process was attained to the equilibrium within 45 min for initial dye concentrations of 50,75, and 100 mg l-1. an acidic medium was the optimum condition for adsorption of dye at roomte...
