Abstract:

The feasibility of employing nanofiltration (NF) in the decolorization of ionic (direct blue 86) and nonionic (disperse blue 56) dye aqueous solutions was investigated. The effects of feed concentration (60- 180 mg/l), pressure (0.5- 1.1 MPa) and pH (6- 10) were studied. Experiments were performed in a laboratory- scale set up by using a TFC commercial spiral wound polyamide nanofilter. The response surface method (RSM) was adopted in the experimental design to obtain the impact of the mentioned factors. It was found that increasing the dye concentration and pH enhances the removal efficiency up to 96 and 92% for direct and disperse dye, respectively. With an increase in pressure from 0.5 to 0.8 MPa the removal percentage increases and then, from 0.8 to 1.1 MPa decreases. The maximum dye removal efficiencies which were predicted at the optimum conditions by Design Expert software were 98 and 94% for direct blue 86 and disperse blue 56, respectively.

The Color Removal of Dye-Containing Wastewater by Cerium (IV) Sulfate from Aqueous Solutions

In this study a giant reagent such as Ce (SO4 )2 was used for removing different initial dye concentration (10-1000 mg/l) of reactive red 31 (R.R31) less than two minutes in a laboratory scale whereas the percent of dye removal efficiency was %99.9. The Langmuir, Freundlich and Tempkin adsorption models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms. The Langmuir model agreed very well with...

Removal of hazardous reactive blue19 dye from aqueous solutions by agricultural waste

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...
