Decolorization of basic, direct and reactive dyes by pre-treated narrow-leaved cattail ( Typha angustifolia Linn.)

Methylene blue was efficiently removed from aqueous solution by foam flotation using a rhamnolipid biosurfactant as a dye collector. The effects of four parameters, namely, pH (1.5–11.5), frother concentration (5–65 ppm), aeration rate (2–6 L/min) and rhamnolipid to methylene blue weight ratio (0.5–6.5), on dye removal were studied and optimized using response surface methodology. Results showed that dye removal increases by increasing of all parameters; however, the nonlinear trend was observed for the effects of frother concentration and rhamnolipid to methylene blue ratio. Optimum removal conditions, resulting in about 93% dye removal, was achievedat pH value of 11.5, methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) concentration of 35 ppm, airflow rate of 4 L/min, and rhamnolipid to methylene blue ratio of 3.5, after only 10 min flotation. Investigations also showed that the presence of electrolyte can significantly decrease the removal efficiency. Kinetics study revealed that the process follows the first-order model with a rate constant of about 0.288 sec- This study demonstrates that rhamnolipid could be considered as a potentially efficient and environment-friendly collector for the treatment of dye contaminated wastewater.

In this study, we developed highly efficient nonwoven membranes by modifying the surface of polypropylene (PP) and poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) through photo-grafting polymerization. The nonwoven membrane surfaces of PP and PBT were grafted with poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) in the presence of benzophenone (BP) and metal salt. We immobilized tertiary amine groups as BP synergists on commercial nonwoven membranes to improve PP and PBT surfaces. In situ Ag, Au, and Au/Ag nanoparticle formation enhances the nonwoven membrane surface. SEM, FTIR, and EDX were used to analyze the surface. We evaluated modified nonwoven membranes for photocatalytic activity by degrading methylene blue (MB) under LED and sunlight. Additionally, we also tested modified membranes for antibacterial activity against E. coli. The results indicated that the modified membranes exhibited superior efficiency in removing MB from water. The PBT showed the highest efficiency in dye removal, and bimetallic nanoparticles were more effective than monometallic. Modified membranes exposed to sunlight had higher efficiency than those exposed to LED light, with the PBT/Au/Ag membrane showing the highest dye removal at 97% within 90 min. The modified membranes showed reuse potential, with dye removal efficiency decreasing from 97% in the first cycle to 85% in the fifth cycle.

Ozonation of aqueous Bomaplex Red CR-L dye in a semi-batch reactor

Removal of auramine dye from aqueous waste solutions was investigated by using very cheap and bio- sorbent, withered guava tree leaves and activated carbon. Guava leaves are readily available in the western and northern parts of India throughout the year, and hence form a cost effective alternative for removal of dyes from waste waters. The optimum contact time was found to be 120 min. in a pH range of 8-9 for 92-94% removal of the dye from aqueous solutions containing 150 mg/L of auramine dye using 2 g of the adsorbent. The effect of pH, dye concentration, sorbent dosage, temperature and contact time on the dye removal efficiency has been studied. Experimental results were found to fit both Freundlich and Langmuir models. Since the dye contains a cationic species, the removal efficiency was highest in a pH range of 8-9. Continuous adsorption studies in a packed column showed 100% removal efficiency for a flow rate of 10 ml·min −1 . When compared with the activated carbon, it was also found that adsorbent derived from guava leaves is more efficient in removal of dye.

Fish scales (FS), a byproduct of the fish processing industry, are often discarded carelessly. In this present study, FS were used as a promising bio-sorbent for the removal of anionic acid dyes (acid red 1 (AR1), acid blue 45 (AB45) and acid yellow 127 (AY127)) from the wastewaters of textile coloration. Here, physiochemical characterizations of the FS were investigated by SEM-EDS, TGA and FI-IR analyses, and dye absorption and removal efficiency were evaluated and optimized considering different process parameters such as concentration of initial dye solution, amount of FS used, contact time, FS size, process temperature, additives, stirring and vacuum. SEM images and EDS elemental analyses showed architectural variation and heterogeneous composition of FS at different places. TGA identified the 50% minerals, 33% organic matters and 17% moisture and volatile components. FI-IR evidenced considerable absorption of acid dyes. Process optimization revealed that additives and fine pulverized FS had significant positive and negative impact on the dye removal efficacy, respectively. Temperature and stirring improved dye removal efficiency, and dye absorption by FS was very fast at the beginning and became almost constant after an hour indicating saturation of absorption. The maximum dye absorptions in scales for AR1, AB45, and AY127 were noted as 1.8, 2.7 and 3.4 mg/g, respectively, and removal percentages were 63.5%, 89.3% and 93%. The effects of the process parameters were consistent across all three acid dyes used in this study. Two-way ANOVA model showed that dye type, process parameters and ‘dye type X process parameters’ interactions had significant effect on the dye removal efficiency.

Efficiency of various recent wastewater dye removal methods: A review

This study was carried out to assess the treatment ability of color, dye, and COD in the dyeing wastewater containing C.I Reactive Blue 160 by ozonation system. Both batch and continuous operating modes with concurrent and counter-current flows were investigated. The effects of the ozone gas flow rate, pH, temperature, Na2CO3 concentration, and initial dye concentration were evaluated. The decolorization, dye removal efficiencies, and mineralization ability of COD by ozonation were determined. The results indicated that ozonation had high efficiency in the treatment of dyeing wastewater containing C.I Reactive Blue 160. The treatment performance was affected by the ozone gas flow rate, pH, temperature, Na2CO3 concentration, and initial dye concentration. The removal efficiency of color, dye, and COD were 98.04%, 99.84%, and 87.31% for the treatment of 200 mg/L initial dye concentration in batch mode with 30 min ozonation time, respectively. In the continuous operation and counter-current flow, the color, dye, and COD removal efficiencies reached 97.24%, 99.76%, and 86.38% after 30 min HRT, respectively, and higher than concurrent flow. The reaction of ozone and C. I Reactive Blue 160 was the first-order reaction in both batch and continuous operation. The complete mineralization required 90 min ozonation time.

Water pollution caused by heavy metal ions (HMI) and dyes is a global issue challenging current solutions. Membrane filtration shows promise, yet faces limitations like fouling and low flux. This study proposes a new membrane by incorporating graphene oxide zinc oxide (GO‐ZnO) nanocomposites into a polyethersulfone (PES) matrix to overcome these challenges. The synthesized membrane exhibits strong antimicrobial activity, crucial for water treatment, and high efficiency in removing HMIs (Cu2+ and Ni2+) and dyes (BB9 and EBT) from water samples and industrial wastewater. Characterization via FTIR and FESEM confirms its chemical composition and morphology, while contact angle measurements assess its hydrophilicity. Mechanical strength tests ensure durability. Overall, the membrane demonstrates exceptional antimicrobial activity, pollutant removal efficiency, and mechanical robustness, highlighting the potential of integrating GO‐ZnO nanoparticles into PES membranes for water treatment.Highlights Synthesis of innovative PES membrane embedded with GO‐ZnO for durable and fast energy‐saving filtration.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate effectiveness of the coagulation process for reactive blue 19 dye (RB19) removal from textile industry wastewater. Materials and Methods: In this research, coagulation process using three coagulants poly aluminum chloride (PACl), alum, and ferric chloride in the presence of anionic polyelectrolyte and kaolin as coagulants aid were studied for the removal of RB19 dye from synthetic wastewater. The influence of effective parameters such as pH, coagulant dose, initial dye concentration, and addition of coagulants aid was investigated. Results: The results showed that the best dye removal efficiency using three coagulants was archived in neutral pH. Under this condition, the optimum dose of PACl, alum, and ferric chloride was 200, 300, and 400 mg/L and corresponding to dye removal efficiency of 91%, 92%, and 81%, respectively. Addition of polyelectrolyte as a coagulant aid with ferric chloride slightly increased process efficiency, whereas adding polyelectrolyte with alum and PACl slightly decreased dye removal efficiency. By addition of kaolin as a coagulant aid with PACl increased dye removal efficiency about 5%, whereas adding kaolin with alum slightly decreased removal efficiency and can be ignored also, in the case of ferric chloride no significant effect on process efficiency observed in the presence of kaolin. Conclusion: Regarding to obtained results, coagulation can be a robust treatment method for the management of wastewater containing reactive dye.

The potential of burhead (Echinodorus cordifolius L.) for the treatment of textile wastewater has been investigated. Reactive red 2; RR2 [MW=615], reactive red 120; RR120 [MW=1469] and reactive red 141; RR141 [MW=1775] were studied in order to determine the effect of molecular size on the efficiency of dye removal by plants in batch systems of constructed wetlands under soil and soil-free conditions. Dye concentrations, total dissolve solids (TDS), conductivity and pH in the effluents, and the relative growth rates (RGR) of plants were measured. The highest efficiency of dye removal during 7 days under soil-free conditions was RR2 (33.09 μmolRR2kg−1 FW), followed by RR120 (13.35 μmolRR120kg−1 FW) and RR141 (10.57 μmolRR141kg−1 FW), respectively. This suggests that the structure and size of dye molecule strongly affects the efficiency of dye removal by plant. The results from a synthetic wetland experiment found that dye removal was 96 % at 4 days and 6 days under soil and soil-free conditions, respectively. Furthermore, plants were able to decrease TDS (42 %), conductivity (50 %) and pH (from 9.5 to 7.4) within 2 days in the synthetic reactive red141 dye wastewater (SRRW141) under soil-free conditions, thus demonstrating the potential of burhead for textile wastewater treatment.
