Abstract:This work substantially extends knowledge on the possibilities of treating colored industrial wastewater via sorption under flow conditions. The presented study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) dye sorption from aqueous solutions under dynamic (flow) conditions in an unconventional air-lift type loop reactor with a filling made of hydrogel chitosan sorbents. The dye was removed from mono-component solutions (deionized water + RB5) and synthetic dyeing wastewater containing RB5 dye… Show more
“…Chitosan is a polysaccharide derived from chitin, which is the second most abundant biopolymer in nature after cellulose. 46 Chitosan (poly-β-(1,4)-2-amino-2-deoxy- d -glucose) is a non-hazardous and potent adsorbent that is commonly employed in the adsorption process among the different solid, low-cost adsorbents available for pollutant removal. 47 According to its structural features (Fig.…”
Dyes have been found in industrial effluent, noting the need for effective treatment. Different processes like filtration, flocculation and adsorption are low-cost, and efficient methods used for the removal of...
