Abstract
Energy consumption for adsorption of basic dyes on clay was carried out on laboratory scale using gas and mechanical stirring. Under external mass transfer conditions, it was found that for removing color (X) in the range 0.5<X<0.9, the obtained data can be correlated by the following equations: for air under the conditions 60<Q<200cm3/s: E=7.545Q1.116X8.43 and for mechanical stirring under the conditions 330<N<1035rpm: E=29.288N1.197X6.5. The study shows that the energy consumption was substantially lower for air stirring, approximately 60 times lower, than for mechanical stirring under identical conditions of adsorption.
