Non-conventional low-cost adsorbents for dye removal: A review
TL;DR: It is evident from a literature survey of about 210 recent papers that low-cost sorbents have demonstrated outstanding removal capabilities for certain dyes, and chitosan might be a promising adsorbent for environmental and purification purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cationic and anionic dye adsorption by agricultural solid wastes: A comprehensive review
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of agricultural solid wastes to remove two classes of dye, cationic and anionic dyes, was discussed and a simple comparison among cationi-and anionic dye adsorption by the same adsorbent was made, thus possibly opening the door for a better understanding of the dye-classified adaption process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewaters by adsorption onto activated carbon prepared from an agricultural solid waste
TL;DR: The percent adsorption increased with increase in pH from 2 to 6 and remained constant up to 10 and the resulting carbon is expected to be an economical product for the removal of toxic heavy metals from industrial wastewaters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution by adsorption onto activated carbon.
TL;DR: The adsorption of Cr(VI) was pH dependent and maximum removal was observed in the acidic pH range and was calculated from the Langmuir isotherm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of direct blue-106 dye from aqueous solution using new activated carbons developed from pomegranate peel: adsorption equilibrium and kinetics
TL;DR: The results showed that the adsorption of direct blue dye was maximal at pH 2, as the amount of adsorbent increased, the percentage of dye removal increased accordingly but it decreased with the increase in initial dye concentration and solution temperature.

Mechanisms of Dye Wastewater Colour Removal by Magnesium Carbonate-Hydrated Basic
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of alkaline magnesium carbonate-hydrated basic as a coagulant, have been investigated in colour reduction experiments using Jar Test apparatus, and it has been found that no single flocculant (Mg(OH) 2, Ca(OH), 2 or CaCO 3 ) can satisfactorily effect colour removal.
