Background: Dyes can cause many problems in environment. Therefore, removal of these contaminants before discharging wastewater to environment can reduce the environmental hazards. Adsorption is one of the usual processes for decolorizing from wastewater. Nanotubes are new adsorbents that can adsorb different compounds. This work aimed to investigate Acid violet 17 dye removal by adsorption usi...

1. introductionsynthetic dyes and specially azo dyes are common pollutants found in textile and dyeing industries effluent. azo dyes are the most important class of synthetic dyes and and represent about 70% of all world dyes consumption. textile effluent can cause considerable pollution and rise high health risk factors due to loos of 20% of dyes in process and large scale of dyes used in thes...

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...

. the sonocatalytic activity of nano-sized zno powder was studied via the degradation of the direct blue 71 azo dye. the nano-sized zno powder that was selected was the same as that which was synthesized and characterized in our previous study. the influences of six operational parameters including the initial ph, the initial concentration, the dose of sonocatalyst, the ultrasound frequency, th...

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...

in this study, a new adsorbent, silver nanoparticle loaded on activated carbon (ag˗np˗ac) was used for removal of acid yellow199 (ay 199) dye. this novel material was characterized and identified by different techniques such as brunauer, emmett and teller (bet), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem), x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis. unique properties of this adsorbent such as hig...

a method was developed for removal, preconcentration and spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of methyl red based on sio2-coated fe3o4magnetic nanoparticles. the influence of ph, dosage of adsorbent and contact time on the adsorption of dye was explored by central composite design. the kinetic data were analyzed based on the langmuir and freundlich adsorption isotherms. the langmui...

background dyes are one of the most important industrial pollutants, especially in textile industries. many methods have been proposed in order to remove color from wastewater among which, adsorption is more acceptable due to the ability for its use in the large scale. objectives the objective of this study was to investigate pumice as an inexpensive adsorbent for removal of methylene blue from...
