Equilibrium, thermodynamic and kinetic studies on adsorption of commercial dye by activated carbon derived from olive-waste cakes

TL;DR: In this paper, the results indicate that the Langmuir model provides the best correlation of the experimental data, and the adsorption capacity of the sorbent for Lanaset Grey G was found to be 108.7 ǫmg g−1 which is better than the capacity of commercial activated carbon.

Ternary Titania–Cobalt Ferrite–Polyaniline Nanocomposite: A Magnetically Recyclable Hybrid for Adsorption and Photodegradation of Dyes under Visible Light

TL;DR: In this article, a straightforward strategy is designed for the fabrication of magnetically recyclable ternary titania-cobalt ferrite-polyaniline (P25-CoFe2O4-PANI) photocatalysts with differing P25/CoFe 2O4 ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adsorptive removal of direct textile dyes by low cost agricultural waste: Application of factorial design analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a 53 full factorial experimental design was employed to study the effect of three factors: initial dye concentration, biosorbent dose and pH at five levels on the efficiency of rice husk for dyes removal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carboxymethyl cellulose coated Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 core–shell magnetic nanoparticles for methylene blue removal: equilibrium, kinetic, and thermodynamic studies

TL;DR: In this paper, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was used as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue (MB, a cationic dye) from aqueous solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Silkworm exuviae--a new non-conventional and low-cost adsorbent for removal of methylene blue from aqueous solutions.

TL;DR: The results reveal that silkworm exuviae (SE) waste can be employed as a low-cost alternative to other adsorbents for MB adsorption, andThermodynamic parameters calculated show the advertisersorption process has been found to be endothermic in nature.

A review of chitin and chitosan applications

TL;DR: Chitin is the most abundant natural amino polysaccharide and is estimated to be produced annually almost as much as cellulose, and recent progress in chitin chemistry is quite noteworthy as mentioned in this paper.

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.
