Sustainable Water Purification: Iron Filings For Dye Adsorption, Saddam Alaskary Jan 2026

Sustainable Water Purification: Iron Filings For Dye Adsorption, Saddam Alaskary

Chemical Engineering

This research explores the potential of iron filings as a sustainable adsorbent for the removal of synthetic dyes from wastewater, with a focus on Methyl Orange and Methylene Blue, two dyes commonly used in industrial processes. The iron filings were comprehensively characterized through chemical analysis, mineralogical assessment, particle size distribution, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to evaluate their adsorption properties. The effects of key operational parameters—including adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration, and contact time—on removal efficiency were systematically investigated, with experimental data analyzed using Design Expert software. Findings show that iron filings exhibit high adsorption …

The emerging technology in biomedical engineering requires biocompatible materials, which are also referred to as biomaterials. For a material to be considered biocompatible, it should not interact with human tissues in a harmful way, and vice versa. Various properties of biocompatible materials, such as mechanical and optical properties, have to be considered for different biomedical applications. One of the most popular applications of biomaterials is for contact lenses. Hydrogels, specifically poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) hydrogels, are among the most popular ones in ophthalmologic applications, especially in soft contact lenses. This paper reviews the use of PHEMA hydrogels as one of the …

Localized chemical delivery plays an essential role in the fundamental information transfers within biological systems. Thus, the ability to mimic the natural chemical signal modulation would provide significant contributions to understand the functional signaling pathway of biological cells and develop new prosthetic devices for neurological disorders. In this paper, we demonstrate a light-controlled hydrogel platform that can be used for localized chemical delivery in a high spatial resolution. By utilizing the photothermal behavior of graphene-hydrogel composites confined within micron-sized fluidic channels, patterned light illumination creates the parallel and independent actuation of chemical release in a group of fluidic ports. The …
