An alternative source of adsorbent for the removal of dyes from textile waters: Posidonia oceanica (L.)

Biosorption of dye from textile wastewater effluent onto alkali treated dried sunflower seed hull and design of a batch adsorber

“…concentration [16,19]. Astrazon Red onto P. oceanica leaves [7], brilliant red 2-KBP onto 182 modified walnut shell [10], brilliant green onto rice husk ash [12], 183 Methylene blue adsorption onto mango seed powder [15], 184 adsorption of amido black 10B dye on jackfruit leaf powder [16], 185 adsorption of maxillian red onto walnut shell [19], reactive red 186 120 onto C. contraria [22], acid black 1 onto two brown macroalgae 187 S. glaucescens and S. marginatum [23], congo red onto jujube seeds 188 [25], yellow 194, red 357 and black 210 onto chromium tanned 189 leather waste [26]. for adsorption of Malachite green onto rice husk [13], Congo red 235 onto jujube seed [25].…”

“…Dyes are Q3 color organic compounds released in effluent water of 7 industries such as textiles, leather, paper, printing, and cosmetics. 8 The textile sector alone consumes about 60% of total dyes produced 9 to paint various fabrics, but 10-15% of dyes used for this purpose 10 comes out through the effluents [1].…”

“…The major advantage of adsorption is use of low cost 34 material especially agricultural based biomass. Various biomass 35 have been studied as potential biosorbents such as saw dust cactus 36 fruit peel [3], chitosan [4], saw dust [6], leaves of Posidonia oceanica 37 [7], oil palm empty fruit bunch fibers [8], sugar beet pulp [9], 38 modified walnut shell [10], Pyracantha coccinea berries [11], rice 39 47 husk ash [12,13], eggshell [14], mango seed kernel powder [15] 40 and jackfruit leaf powder [16]. 41 The objective of this work was to investigate the potential of 42 dried sunflower seed hull (DSSH), an agricultural waste, as an 43 adsorbent in the removal of synthetic reactive and direct dyes, 44 from aqueous waste effluent from the textile industry.…”

Removal of Reactive Turquoise Blue Dye from Aqueous Solution Using a Non-Conventional Natural Adsorbent

“…Research is currently focusing on the use of low cost commercially available organic materials as viable substitutes for activated carbon; in fact, raw material, has been extensively investigated as an adsorbent for removing contaminants from water (1,2,4,(9)(10)(11)(12).…”

- Anaerobic Treatment of Wastewater from Used Industrial Oil Recovery

“…These proteins have the capacity to bind heavy metals through the thiol groups, which are also known as sulfhydryl groups (R-SH), and amino groups (R- NH 2 ) of its cysteine residues [24,25]. Other studies have investigated the biosorption of heavy metals such as copper, lead, and chromium, and the removal of dyes from textile waters using P. oceanica biomass [21,[26][27][28][29][30]. Vanadium and molybdenum are discharged into the environment from various industries that work on alloy steels [31,32], and these are considered to be persistent environmental contaminants [33,34].…”
