Abstract
The performance of Alginate - Cobalt ferrite (ACF) in a fixed bed column was assessed for the simultaneous removal of binary dyes from textile effluent. The binary dye effluent containing 32.5 mg/L of reactive red 195 (RR195) and 21 mg/L of reactive yellow 145 (RY145) was used for the study. The effect of various parameters like bed depth (3, 6, 9 and 12 cm) and flow rate of influent (5, 7.5 and 10 mL/min) for the binary adsorption using ACF was studied. The results revealed that ACF bed capacity and maximum adsorption capacity showed an increasing trend with an increased bed depth and decreased flow rate. Dynamic modeling such as Yoon - Nelson model, Thomas model and Bed Depth Service Time model (BDST) were evaluated with the experimental data. Comparatively, Yoon - Nelson and Thomas model presented better fitness for the elimination of RR195 and RY145 dye. The experimental data from dynamic studies revealed ACF's effectiveness for the sequestration of binary dyes from textile effluent.
