This study was undertaken to determine the treatment a binary mixture of dye wastewater (containing Naphthol Green B) and the sugar industry wastewater for removal of color. The specific treatment in the current research consists of adsorption using low-cost adsorbents and microfiltration using Whatman-41 microfilters. Considerations of this treatment process are to take the samples using batch adsorption and avoid coagulation with further dilution. Numerous runs are made, with the ideal waste samples prepared in the laboratory. As a 1st step in the study, different dye concentrations are considered using different concentrations of sugar wastewater. Samples are treated with 3 …
Treatment Of Combined Acid Black 48 And Coffee Wastewater By Low-Cost Adsorbents, Yung-Tse Hung
Treatment Of Combined Acid Black 48 And Coffee Wastewater By Low-Cost Adsorbents, Yung-Tse Hung

© 2020, Kaunas University of Technology. All rights reserved. Removal of synthetic dyes from wastewater is essential both from the environmental and human health point of view. A small concentration of synthetic dyes can reduce water transparency and consequently influence photosynthesis and alter aquatic ecosystems. Acid black 48 is an Azo dye that falls under the category of synthetic dyes used in the textile industry. With dyes, coffee wastewater has high chemical oxygen demand (COD) that can affect dissolved oxygen (DO) in surface waters. A mixture of wastes in surface waters creates a need to investigate the efficiency of existing …
Treatment Of Acid Orange 74 Wastewater And Sugar Wastewater By Low Cost Adsorbents, S. H. Madiraju, Yung-Tse Hung, Howard H. Paul
Treatment Of Acid Orange 74 Wastewater And Sugar Wastewater By Low Cost Adsorbents, S. H. Madiraju, Yung-Tse Hung, Howard H. Paul

This study shows the treatment of combined binary mixture of Acid Orange 74 and sugar wastewater with peanut hull and orange peel as low-cost adsorbents. The performance of a combined adsorption-microfiltration process for the color removal is measured and compared using transmittance and absorbance indices at mechanical shaker mix level. This selected treatment procedure is among one of the most economical treatment alternatives to all technologies present now. The parameters studied during this research are analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models on low cost adsorbents. Conclusive results after the treatment are indicated in this paper at their optimum dosages …
