Fleece rot was induced in 15 young Merino ewes by treatment with repeated application of simulated rain. Forty days after induction, treated and five control ewes were subjected to 50 mm of simulated rain which contained a water soluble dye. Treated ewes absorbed significantly more water than controls (2.3 kg to 1.5 kg). Wool samples were collected at ten cm intervals along the dorsal midline t...

The activated charcoal was used for the removal of alizarin red dye from aqueous solution. Different parameters such as effect of contact time, initial dye concentration and pH were investigated. It was observed from the concentration study that the amount of dye adsorbed per unit mass of the adsorbent increased with increase in dye concentration. The pH study presented that the adsorption of d...

In this study, nanoporous hydroxyapatite was synthesized and functionalized via tetraethylenepentamine in order to obtain a novel adsorbent for efficient removal of Acid Blue 25 dye from aqueous solution. Functionalized hydroxyapatite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (...

introduction: textile industries produce large volume of colored dye effluents which are toxic and removal of dyes from wastewater is a significant environmental issue. advanced oxidation process (aops) is alternative method for the complete degradation many organic pollutants. zno and tio2 are important photocatalysts with high catalytic activity that have attracted much research attention. ma...

introduction: the powdered activated carbon treatment (pact) has been proposed as an alternative in wastewater treatment and wastewater biomass protection against toxic substances. this study aims to evaluate pact performance in treating dyes, acid orange, and remazol brilliant reactive blue. methods: this empirical- applied research was carried out in pilot scale in which different dye removal...

In this research, the efficiency of electrocoagulation treatment process using iron and aluminum electrodes to treat synthetic wastewater containing Reactive Red 24 (RR 24) was studied. The effects of parameters such as current density, pH, type of electrolyte, initial dye concentration, electrolyte concentration, temperature, and inter electrode distance on dye removal efficiency were investig...

The application of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in an unmodified form as an adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) dye removal in waste water at 303–333K was investigated. Effects of operational parameters such as adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration and pH were determined for optimum conditions for maximum dye removal. Results obtained showed that dye removal efficiency increases as the amount...

conclusions the study results showed that by increasing the initial dye concentration and contact time, the adsorption capacity increased, as well. moreover, the thermodynamic parameters (δh °, δg °, and δs °) revealed the endothermic sorption of rr-198 onto mwcnts. results the rr-198 absorption rates were 33.26 and 222.88 mg/g, respectively for 20, and 200 mg/l dye concentration, at ph of 3, 6...
