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...

Background & Aims of the Study: Due to widespread use and adverse effect of dyes, the removal of dyes from effluents is necessary. This study was aimed to remove the reactive blue 19 dye removal from aqueous solution by dried Lemna minor. Materials and Methods:  The effect of various parameters including contact time, solution pH, adsorbent dosage and dye concentrati...

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 thi...

In this paper we sensitized two new organic days dye 1 and dye 2 based on thioindigo with phenothiazine as the electron donor group. We used acrylic acid and cyanoacrylic acid as the electron acceptor anchoring group in dye 1 and dye 2 respectively. The proposed dyes were sensitized from phenothiazine as the starting material by standard reactions and characterized by different techniques such ...

This study examined the photolytic degradation of C.I. Acid Red 73 AR73 diazo dye, in aqueous solution by combined UV, hydrogen peroxide and KMnO4. A continuous circulated photoreactor equipped with a low pressure mercury lamp 15 W, emission 253.7 nm was used. In the first step, potassium permanganate was used for decolourisation of AR73 dye solution. The effect of the key operating variables s...

Dye-containing wastewater is one of the main environmental challenges that can cause health issues. It is crucial to remove the dyes from wastewater before its discharge into the environment. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of aptenia cordifolia mucilage in removal of anionic dyes from textile wastewater via coagulation and flocculation process. To this goal, the effect of different ...

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...

In the present study, silica aerogel- egg shell was synthesized for dye removal of colored wastewater. The nano composite structure was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra FTIR and scanning electron microscope SEM.The ability of nano composite absorption was assessed for removal basic violet 16BV16 dye from aqueous solutions and was compared with two other adsorbents such as egg...
