Study of Bio Sorbents for the Treatment of Simulated Dyes Waste Water
Journal Title: Chemical Science International Journal - Year 2017, Vol 21, Issue 3
Abstract
Water pollution is one of the burning issues of today's world; it is the primary cause of different diseases in living beings. Textile effluent is the primary source of water pollution. Marine lifespan, environment and our ecosystem are affected severely by the dumping of dyes from industries into the water. The objective of this research is adsorption, thermodynamics and kinetic studies of two different organic dyes onto abundantly available inexpensive adsorbents like Phoenix dactylifera (date pits), tea waste (tea leaves), Zea covering (corn husk) and Prunus persica (peach seeds) for the elimination of acidic (Congo red) and basic (Malachite Green oxalate) dyes from solutions. Selected adsorbents have high surface reactivity and adsorption capability to eliminate the mentioned dyes from the wastewater system.
