Methylene Blue

A continuous adsorption study in a fixed-bed column was carried out by using phoenix tree leaf powder as an adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. The effect of flow rate, influent MB concentration and bed depth on the adsorption characteristics of adsorbent was inve

The potentialities of castor seed shell (CSS), a waste agricultural by-product, in the remediation of water, contaminated with Methylene Blue (MB), a basic dye, were investigated in the present study. The CSS was ground and washed, thoroughly, to remove any water extractable constituents. The dried

In this study, methylene blue (MB) was chosen as a model dye to test a novel photocatalytic reactor using titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofilm. TiO2 photocatalysis is a light-activated process that has been successfully applied to remove organic and inorganic pollutants from water and wastewater. The re

Textile industries consume large amounts of water and generate highly dye-contaminated effluents. Textile wastewaters have to be treated in order to be recycled in the process or to meet legislative requirements before being discharged. The objective of the present study was to examine the potential

The investigation was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of using activated carbon (AC) in conjunction with ultrafiltration (UF) in the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. The combination of activated carbon with UF in this work was to exploit the high adsorption capabilitie

Fine particles of photoactive anatase-type TiO2 were loaded on activated carbon and carbon spheres through the hydrolysis of titanium oxysulfate under autogenous hydrothermal conditions. Their photoactivity and adsorptivity were evaluated separately by the measurements of relative concentration of m
