In this research, which includes the previously published works of this team on dyes removal, solvent sublation was applied in order to remove such dyestuff as Indigo carmine from model solutions. The aim of the work was to study the main principles of Indigo carmine removal from water by solvent sublation. Indigo carmine (IC, C 16 H 8 N 2 Na 2 O 8 S 2 ), an anionic dye, was removed from aqueous solutions by solvent sublation of an IC-hexadecylpyridinium bromide (HPB) complex (sublate) into octanol. The effects of the following parameters on solvent sublation were experimentally studied: the molar ratio of HPB:IC, pH of aqueous phase, duration of the removal process, type and volume of organic solvent. The initial dye concentration was 10 mg/dm 3 .It was found that the process should be conducted under such conditions: pH 5, solventoctanol, Schott filter nominal pore size -16 µm, molar ratio of HPB:IC = 1:1, process duration -20 min. According to obtained results the highest level of IC elimination that was reached within the experiment equals 95,5 %.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
