abstract

this paper reports application of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctab) coated magnetite nanoparticles (fe3o4 nps) as a novel adsorbent for removal of two types of disperse dyes, including disperse red 167, and disperse blue 183, from wastewater of textile companies. the effect of parameters including type of surfactant, ph of solution, surfactant concentration, and amount of salt, was investigated and optimized. the obtained results showed that the ratio of initial dye concentration to ctab amounts has critical effect on removal processes so that removal efficiencies higher than 95% can be achieved even at high concentration of dyes as high as 500 mg l-1 when the ratio is optimum. removal of dyes is very fast, and equilibrium is reached at times less than 10 min even for high concentration of the dyes. very high adsorbent capacity (as high as 2000 mg g-1) was yielded for maximum tested concentration of the dyes (500 mg g-1). the obtained result was confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis data. this study showed that ctab coated fe3o4 nps is a very efficient adsorbent for removal of dyes from wastewater of textile companies and has high capacity under optimum conditions.

Covalently modified magnetite nanoparticles with PEG: preparation and characterization as nano-adsorbent for removal of lead from wastewater

BACKGROUND Lead is one of the hazardous materials which is associated with pollution and toxicity problems. This paper describes a novel approach for removal of lead from wastewater. Although naked magnetic nanoparticles have been applied for removal of different pollutants from wastewater, there was no research on employment of covalently PEG modified magnetic nanoparticles for such purpose. ...

Investigation on the capability of Silkworm Pupa as a Natural Adsorbent for Removal of Dyes from Textile Effluent

Recently, use of naturally-occurring low-cost and harmless material for removal of trace contaminants from colored wastewater has attracted extensive attention. In this study, silkworm pupa has been used as a basic dye adsorbent. Adsorption capacity and isotherms have been assessed. Results show that adsorption isotherms can be expressed well by Langmuir equation. The effects of parameters such...

Role of activated carbon from natural adsorbent for removal of textile dyes: effect of pH, kinetic and adsorbent mass

In the present work, we have investigated the sorption efficiency of the treated activated carbon from walnut shell(ACW) towards Direct Red 81 (DR81) and Direct Blue 71 (DB71) for the removal from aqueous solution. Thesorption study of ACW at the solid-liquid interface was investigated using kinetic, sorption isotherms, pH effectand amount of adsorbent. Experimental data were analyzed by Langmu...
