Q2. What have the authors stated for future works in "Adsorption of patent blue v from textile industry wastewater using sterculia alata fruit shell biochar: evaluation of efficiency and mechanisms" ?
The high removal capacity of the biochar indicated the possibility of multilayer adsorption and this mechanism was supported by SEM results, and the results from Freundlich isotherm fit. The high removal capacity of the biochar indicated the possibility of multilayer adsorption and this mechanism was supported by SEM results, and the results from Freundlich isotherm fit. The results obtained from this study are quite promising because the modified biochar was able to remove > 80 %, at an initial PB dye concentration of 500 mg/L.
Q3. What is the effect of pH on the adsorption of dye?
As the pH of the solution increases, adsorption of dye was found to decrease due to the reduction in the positive hydrogen ions and increased availability of negatively charged OH- ions, therefore, promoting activities of electrostatic repulsion between the negative charge of the dye and the biochar surface.
Q4. What are the main techniques used to remove dyes from wastewater?
Different techniques such as biological treatment, ozone treatment, adsorption, and chemical oxidation have been tested by the researchers to remove dyes from wastewater.
Q5. What are the reasons for the increase in adsorption at higher temperatures?
There are several reasons for the increase in adsorption at higher temperatures: (i) the process may be endothermic in nature, which favours more adsorption of the dye molecules at higher temperatures, and (ii) at higher temperatures, due to the intrinsic kinetic energy of the molecules, the dye may be able to penetrate and get adsorbed inside the pores of the adsorbent, resulting in higher rates of adsorption.
Q6. What are the main problems of dye pollution in the water bodies and soil?
The presence of dye in the water bodies and soil pose various problems including toxicity of water bodies and soil, change in the quality of water, toxicity to the microorganisms/biocatalysts present in the water, percolation of dyes in the underground water through soil, entry in the food chain which result in various health effects on human beings and animals [6,7].
Q7. What is the maximum adsorption capacity of PB on ginger waste?
At lower pH values (i.e., 2.7), the surface charge density of BSB was found to be predominantly positive; thus, adsorbing high quantities of anionic PB dye molecules.
Q8. What is the role of hydrogen bonding in the adsorption of PB dye?
at the lower value of pH than that of pKa, the carboxylic groups are positively charged, which provides a platform for electrostatic attraction with the SO3− group of PB dye.
Q9. What are the main reasons for the adsorption of PB dye?
The adsorption of PB dye over the surface of Sterculia alata fruit shell can be explained by hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions and van der Waal forces.
Q10. What is the effect of temperature on the adsorption of PB dye?
On the other hand, at higher temperatures, the dye might also undergo thermal degradation and this process could also contribute to the overall removal of dye from wastewater [35].
Q11. What is the promising technique for removing dyes from wastewater?
Among all these suggested technologies, adsorption is most promising and considered to be a convenient technique for removal of dyes because of its low cost, easy operation and high removal capacity [9,10].
