Removal of Selected Basic Dyes using Activated Carbon from Tannery Wastes

Activated carbon prepared from tannery leather waste (TLW-AC) has been studied for its efficiency of removal of basic dyes, namely rhodamine B (RB), methylene blue (MB), and malachite green (MG) from aqueous solutions. Factors influencing dye adsorption such as the concentration of dye, pH, contact time, and temperature were investigated. The adsorption was found to be strongly dependent on the pH and temperature. The maximum sorption capacity of RB was obtained at pH 3 and for MB and MG was obtained at pH 11. Various thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG°, ΔH°, and ΔS° were calculated. The kinetic studies reveal that the adsorption process follows the pseudo second-order kinetic model. The equilibrium data have been well-described by the Langmuir and Freundlich models, and the data fitted well in both model equations. The study revealed that wastes from leather industry is an economically viable option for dye removal.

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE ADSORPTION OF METHYLENE BLUE DYE ONTO SULFURIC ACID–TREATED ORANGE PEEL

The present study explains the preparation and application of sulfuric acid–treated orange peel (STOP) as a new low-cost adsorbent in the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye from its aqueous solution. The effects of temperature on the operating parameters such as solution pH, adsorbent dose, initial MB dye concentration, and contact time were investigated for the removal of MB dye using STOP. The maximum adsorption of MB dye onto STOP took place in the following experimental conditions: pH of 8.0, adsorbent dose of 0.4 g, contact time of 45 min, and temperature of 30°C. The adsorption equilibrium data were tested by applying both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. It is observed that the Freundlich isotherm model fitted better than the Langmuir isotherm model, indicating multilayer adsorption, at all studied temperatures. The adsorption kinetic results showed that the pseudo-second-order model was more suitable to explain the adsorption of MB dye onto STOP. The adsorption mechanism results showed that the adsorption process was controlled by both the internal and external diffusion of MB dye molecules. The values of free energy change (ΔG ^o) and enthalpy change (ΔH ^o) indicated the spontaneous, feasible, and exothermic nature of the adsorption process. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of STOP was also compared with other low-cost adsorbents, and it was found that STOP was a better adsorbent for MB dye removal.

The use of toxic solid waste for the adsorption of dyes from waste streams

The use of chromium‐containing toxic solid wastes from the leather industry for the removal of dyes from waste‐waters has been studied. A batch adsorption model has been employed and the role of various experimental parameters on the efficiency of the process evaluated. The extent of dye removal was studied by varying parameters such as pH, contact time, initial concentration of the dye and amount of adsorbent. The experimental equilibrium data for this system has been analyzed using the linearized forms of Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The Langmuir isotherm was found to provide the best theoretical correlation of the experimental data and the adsorption was found to follow pseudo‐second‐order kinetics. The dye adsorbed solid wastes were used for the preparation of pigments. In essence, this study provides a greener solution for chromium‐containing solid wastes, dye containing waste‐waters and dye‐adsorbed chromium solid wastes.

Adsorption behavior of cationic dyes on citric acid esterifying wheat straw: kinetic and thermodynamic profile

The kinetic and thermodynamic behaviors of cationic dye adsorption onto citric acid esterifying wheat straw (EWS) from aqueous solution were investigated. Two cationic dyes, methylene blue (MB) and crystal violet (CV) were selected as adsorbates. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of dye adsorption were examined with a batch system by changing various experimental factors (e.g. initial pH, EWS dosage, dye concentration, contact time, temperature). The MB and CV removal ratios came up to the maximum value beyond pH 4. The 2.0 g/L or up of EWS could almost completely remove MB and CV from 250 mg/L of dye solution. The adsorption percentages of MB and CV kept above 95% over a range from 50 to 350 mg/L of dye concentration when 2.0 g/L of EWS was used. The isothermal data followed the Langmuir model. The adsorption processes could be described by the pseudosecond-order kinetic model. The dual linear plots of intraparticle diffusion indicated that two intraparticle diffusion steps occurred in the dye adsorption processes. The thermodynamic study indicated that the adsorptions of dyes were spontaneous and endothermic. High temperatures favored the adsorption processes.

Nonporous monosize polymeric sorbents: Dye and metal chelate affinity separation of lysozyme

Lysozyme adsorption onto dye‐attached nonporous monosize poly(2‐hydroxyethyl‐methacrylate‐methylmethacrylate) [poly(HEMA‐MMA)] microspheres was investigated. Poly(HEMA‐MMA) microspheres were prepared by dispersion polymerization. The monochloro‐triazine dye, Cibacron Blue F3GA, was immobilized covalently as dye–ligand. These dye‐affinity microspheres were used in the lysozyme adsorption–desorption studies. The effect of initial concentration of lysozyme and medium pH on the adsorption efficiency of dye‐attached and metal‐chelated microspheres were studied in a batch reactor. Effect of Cu(II) chelation on lysozyme adsorption was also studied. The nonspecific adsorption of lysozyme on the poly(HEMA‐MMA) microspheres was 3.6 mg/g. Cibacron Blue F3GA attachment significantly increased the lysozyme adsorption up to 247.8 mg/g. Lysozyme adsorption capacity of the Cu(II) incorporated microspheres (318.9 mg/g) was greater than that of the Cibacron Blue F3GA‐attached microspheres. Significant amount of the adsorbed lysozyme (up to 97%) was desorbed in 1 h in the desorption medium containing 1.0M NaSCN at pH 8.0 and 25 mM EDTA at pH 4.9. In order to examine the effects of separation conditions on possible conformational changes of lysozyme structure, fluorescence spectrophotometry was employed. We conclude that dye‐ and metal‐chelate affinity chromatography with poly(HEMA‐MMA) microspheres can be applied for lysozyme separation without causing any significant changes and denaturation. Repeated adsorption/desorption processes showed that these novel dye‐attached monosize microspheres are suitable for lysozyme adsorption. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Utilization of organically stabilized proteinous solid waste for the treatment of coloured waste‐water

BACKGROUND: Solid waste emanating from tanneries contains a high percentage of protein with raw trimmings from hides constituting a significant percentage of the solid waste. In this study, organically stabilized trimmings (OST) have been used as an adsorbent material for removal of colour from waste‐water. RESULTS: Various parameters such as adsorbent dosage, dye concentration and pH have been optimized. The effect of neutral salts on the dye adsorption capacity of OST has also been studied. The adsorption of dye by OST follows the Freundlich isotherm. More than 99% removal of colour has been achieved. Commercial trials prove the potential use of organically stabilized trimmings for the treatment of colored wastewater. CONCLUSIONS: Dye loaded OSTs have been employed in the manufacture of a tanning salt, which can be used in the leather industry. Thus, a holistic solution to the challenging solid waste disposal problem has been developed. Copyright © 2009 Society of Chemical Industry     

Removal of Acid Dyes from Aqueous Solutions using Chemically Activated Carbon

Abstract

Textile dyes (Acid Yellow 17 and Acid Orange 7) were removed from its aqueous solution in batch and continuous packed bed adsorption systems by using thermally activated Euphorbia macroclada carbon with respect to contact time, initial dye concentration, and temperature. The activated carbon was prepared using a cheap plant-based material called Euphorbia macroclada, which was chemically modified with K₂CO₃. Lagergren-first-order and second-order kinetic models were used to fit the experimental data. Equilibrium isotherms were analyzed by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Equilibrium data fitted well the Langmuir model in the studied temperature (25–55°C) ranges. The maximum adsorption capacity of AY17 and AO7 onto activated carbon was found to be 161.29 and 455 mgg^?1, respectively by Langmuir isotherm at 55°C. Breakthrough curves for column adsorption have also been studied. The desorption of dyes has been experimentally investigated using NaOH solution of pH 11.

Adsorption studies on the removal of Malachite Green from aqueous solutions onto halloysite nanotubes

Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were used as nano-adsorbents for removal of the cationic dye, Malachite Green (MG), from aqueous solutions. The adsorption of the dye was studied with batch experiments. The natural HNTs used as adsorbent in this work were initially characterized by FT-IR and TEM. The effects of adsorbent dose, initial pH, temperature, initial dye concentration and contact time were investigated. Adsorption increased with increasing adsorbent dose, initial pH, and temperature. Equilibrium was rapidly attained after 30 min of contact time. Pseudofirst-order, pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion models were considered to evaluate the rate parameters. The adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetic model with correlation coefficients greater than 0.999. The factors controlling adsorption process were also calculated and discussed. The maximum adsorption capacity of 99.6 mg g⁻¹ of MG was achieved in pH = 9.5. Thermodynamic parameters of ΔG°, ΔH° and ΔS° indicated the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic.

Removal of basic dyes from aqueous solutions using starch‐graft‐acrylic acid copolymers

Graft copolymerization of acrylic acid (AA) onto starch was carried out with ceric ammonium nitrate as initiator under nitrogen atmosphere. The grafting percentages (GP%) of starch‐graft‐AA (St‐gr‐AA) copolymers were determined. When the AA molar concentrations were 0.3 and 0.5 mol/L, GP% of St‐gr‐AA copolymers were 10.5% (St‐gr‐AA‐1) and 14% (St‐gr‐AA‐2), respectively. St‐gr‐AA copolymers have been used for the adsorption of basic dye (Safranine T) from aqueous solutions. Effects of various parameters such as treatment time, initial pH of the solution (pH = 2–6), initial dye concentration (50– 500 mg/L), and GP% of starch graft copolymers were investigated.Basic dye removal capacities of the copolymers increase along with the augment of initial concentration of the adsorbate, GP% of the copolymers, and pH. The adsorption capacities for St‐gr‐AA‐1 and St‐gr‐AA‐2 reach 116.5 and 204 mg/g, respectively. Equilibrium adsorption data were obtained and fitted very well to Freundlich model. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007     

Adsorption of congo red by three Australian kaolins

This study investigated the potential use of kaolin as alternative adsorbents for removal of congo red from wastewater. The effect of adsorbent dosage, dye concentration, pH and temperature were experimentally studied to evaluate the adsorption capacity, kinetics and equilibrium. Experimental results revealed that optimal adsorption took place at acidic pH and high dye concentration. Ceram kaolin had the highest removal efficiency among studied kaolins, followed by K15GR and Q38. The dye uptake process obeyed the pseudo-second order kinetic expression and was best described by the Langmuir isotherm. Intra-particle diffusion studies showed that the adsorption mechanism was not exclusively controlled by the diffusion step and was more likely to be governed by external mass transfer. Thermodynamic studies showed congo red adsorption on all kaolins was exothermic and spontaneous in nature. Recovered Q38 and K15GR kaolin demonstrated an enhanced adsorption capability. The results indicate that these local kaolins could be employed as low-cost alternatives for removal of anionic dyes from industrial wastewater.
