Abstract
AbstractTextile industry produces colored effluent which is the major cause of water pollution. Removal of color from effluent is very important before discharging. Extraction of ternary mixture of anionic dyes, namely, Acid Orange 7 (AO-7), Acid Blue 1(AB-1) and Acid Yellow 17 (AY-17) was carried out from aqueous solutions using reverse micelles of Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (CPC) and Cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) in isoamyl alcohol. Extraction efficiency of CPC and CTAB was studied under various experimental conditions, such as pH of feed solution, concentration of surfactant, extraction time, temperature and initial dye concentration. Under the optimized experimental conditions, 93–98 % of dyes were extracted. It was observed that CTAB is more efficient than CPC for extraction of dyes from aqueous medium.
