Backgroud and purpose: Dye is one of the problems of industrial effluent such as textile industries. The dyes can be removed by various methods. Therefore, the aim of this study was the evaluation of adsorption rate of reactive red 198 from aqueous solution by activated red mud. Materials and methods: This research was a lab study. Activated red mud was used as an adsorbent to remove reactive r...

The interactions two synthetic triazinyl reactive dyes Mono-s-chloro Triazinyl reactive dyes DI and DII with the cationic surfactant N-hexadecyl pyridinium chloride CPC were studied using a conductometric method in 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45ºC. The equilibrium constants and other thermodynamic parameters for the ion pair formation were calculated on the basis of a theoretical model using the data ob...

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...

The effect of sonochemical reactors (SCR) technology upon the degradation of reactive yellow dye has been studied and reported here. Sonochemical reactors (ultrasound irradiation) produce strong cavitation in aqueous solution causing shock wave and reactive free radicals by the violent collapse of the cavitation bubble. These effects should contribute to destruction as well as the decomposition...

Introduction: The Powdered Activated Carbon Treatment (PACT) has been proposed as an alternative in wastewater treatment and wastewater biomass protection against toxic substances. This study aims to evaluate PACT performance in treating dyes, acid orange, and remazol brilliant reactive blue. Materials and Methods: This empirical- applied research was carried out in pilot scale in which differ...

Ten phenols were selected as natural laccase mediators after screening 44 different compounds with a recalcitrant dye (Reactive Black 5) as a substrate. Their performances were evaluated at different mediator/dye ratios and incubation times (up to 6 h) by the use of Pycnoporus cinnabarinus and Trametes villosa laccases and were compared with those of eight known synthetic mediators (including -...
