Background: Colors are very useful in different industries such as textile and leather but when they enter water, can cause many biological and environmental problems. In the present research, a waste agricultural material which is freely available is employed to analyze its efficiency for removing acid dye from contaminated wastewaters. Methods: In this study, batch adsorption experiments wer...

Background: Synthetic dyes are serious pollutants and wide ranges of methods have been employed for their removal from aquatic systems. We studied the adsorption of "Nile blue A" (NBA), an anionic dye, from aqueous solution by oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Methods: Scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize ...

introduction: colored compounds which often are toxic and carcinogen is one of the environmental pollutants. these pollutants should be removed prior than discharge to the environment. the aim of this study was the evaluation of maize tassel powder efficiency for the removal of reactive red 198 dye from synthetic textile wastewater. materials & methods: this experimental study was performed in ...

Dyes are widely used in various industries, since theirdirect discharge to nature can cause many biological and environmental problems. Some of these dyes are toxic, carcinogenic and can cause skin and eye irritation. There are various dye removal techniques, but Adsorption found to be very effective and cheap method among the all available dye removal methods. The purpose of this study was to ...

The nano sized TiO2 and ZnO are the most active photocatalysts.  Methylene blue was used as a reference molecule for the photocatalytic degradation. The TiO2 and ZnO can totally remove methylene blue dye. The effect of various process parameters like initial concentration, contact time, dose of catalyst and pH on the extent of removal of dye by photocatalysis in presence o...

abstract background: dyes are visible materials and are considered as one of the hazardous components that make up the industrial waste. dye compounds in natural water, even in very low concentrations, will lead to environmental problems. azo dyes are compounds with one or more –n=n– groups and are used in textile industry. because of its low price, solubility, and stability, azo dyes are widel...

Nanoscale zero-valent iron NZVI particles were synthesized by the aqueous phase borohydride reduction method, and the synthesized NZVI particles were used for the degradation of Basic Yellow 28 BY28 dye in aqueous solution. The influence of experimental variables such as reaction time, NZVI particle dosage and pH were studied on the decolorization of BY28. Mixing an aqueous solution of 100 mg L...

in this research feasibility study of using sewage sludge as an adsorbent for the removal of acidblue 25 dye was carried out. sewage sludge was first dried in an oven at 105° c for 24 hours. then the driedsludge was washed with hcl (98%) for two hours and then with distilled water to a ph of approximatelyneutral. then, it was carbonated and activated in a nitrogen-based electric furnace at 600c...
