Abstract:

Toluidine Blue O (TBO) is a cationic dye which is extensively used in the industries. In the present paper a simple and efficient wet chemical method was introduced for removal of TBO from waste aqueous solution. Magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes were synthesized using commercially available multi-wall carbon nanotubes and magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles which were examined for removal of TBO. The magnetic adsorbents were easily manipulated using an external magnetic field for desired separation, causing the removal of dyes from polluted water. The experimental results revealed that after 30 min, the separation process for TBO absorption reaches to equilibrium at pH 7.0. The optimum condition for removal of TBO was reported.

Removal of methylene blue from aqueous solution by a carbon - microsilica composite adsorbent

−Microsilica, one kind of industrial solid waste material, was utilized firstly to prepare a carbon-microsilica composite adsorbent (CMS). The prepared adsorbent was characterized with XPS, SEM and Gas sorption experiments. The results indicated the SO 3 H groups, which are very effective in capturing cationic organic dye, were introduced onto the surface of CMS; the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET...

Application of Magnetic Nano Adsorbent Fe2O3 for Removal of Hazardous Ponceau-S Dye from Aqueous Solution

The photodegradation of Ponceau-S dye was investigated using UV radiation in presence of nanosized Fe2 O3 .Removal efficiency of Ponceau-S was sensitive to the operational parameters such as dye concentration, catalyst dose, pH, contact time, TOC and COD. The photocatalytic treatment of red colored Ponceau-S dye by magnetic nano semiconductor (Fe2 O3 )is an effective, economic and faster mode. ...
