Abstract
Simultaneous adsorption of chromium and acidic dye from leather tannery model wastewater using a novel modified nanoclay
Highlights
In real-life applications, wastewaters contain more than one contaminant, and the contaminants are usually of different chemical and physical properties (Tovar-Gómez et al, 2015; Niu et al, 2018)
The simultaneous removal of chromium (III) and acid brown from leather tannery model wastewater was thoroughly investigated by a nanoclay modified with 3-chloro-2hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (CHPTAC) surfactant
Local nano clay modified via CHPTAC surfactant was used to simultaneously remove Cr (III) and acidic dye from model tannery wastewaters
Summary
In real-life applications, wastewaters contain more than one contaminant, and the contaminants are usually of different chemical and physical properties (Tovar-Gómez et al, 2015; Niu et al, 2018). Investigating the highly efficient methods and techniques for removing contaminants from multi-component solutions is a priority (Deng et al, 2013; Wang et al, 2017). Adsorption is an advantageous and highly efficient method to remove contaminants from wastewaters (Gładysz-Płaska et al, 2012; Fan et al, 2014; Wang et al, 2017; Keçeci, Usta and Uygur, 2020). Modification of clays using organic surfactants prepares them to be used in the removal of organic and hydrophobic materials (Fan et al, 2014; Liu et al, 2016; Heinz et al, 2017; Wang et al, 2017). The simultaneous removal of chromium (III) and acid brown from leather tannery model wastewater was thoroughly investigated by a nanoclay modified with 3-chloro-2hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (CHPTAC) surfactant. The promising results show that this process might yield to a potential method to safely treat the high priority leather tannery wastewater
