Modified bentonite adsorption of organic pollutants of dye wastewater

TL;DR: In this paper, an organobentonite was synthesized by replacing exchangeable Na+ ions in Na-bentonite with cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and systematically explored for its adsorption behavior as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of dyes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Equilibrium, kinetics and mechanism of malachite green adsorption on activated carbon prepared from bamboo by K2CO3 activation and subsequent gasification with CO2

TL;DR: The BAC could be used to effectively adsorb MG from aqueous solutions and the overall rate of dye uptake was found to be controlled by pore diffusion throughout the entire adsorption period.

Enhanced adsorption of Methylene Blue from aqueous solution by chitosan-g-poly (acrylic acid)/vermiculite hydrogel composites

TL;DR: In this article, a series of chitosan-g-poly (acrylic acid)/vermiculite hydrogel composites were synthesized and used as adsorbents for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution, and the results showed that the adsorption capacity for dye increased with increasing pH, contact time and initial dye concentration, but decreased with increasing temperature, ionic strength and sodium dodecyl sulfate concentration in the present of the surfactant.

Mechanism of textile metal dye biotransformation by Trametes versicolor.

TL;DR: The biodegradation of Grey Lanaset G, which consists of a mixture of metal complexed dye, was studied and the metal contents of the biomass and treated solutions, and their closer relationship to intracellular enzyme and degradation of the dye confirm the initial hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

MXenes (two-dimensional metal carbides) as emerging nanomaterials for water purification: Progress, challenges and prospects

TL;DR: In this article, the recent advancement in applications of two-dimensional transition metal carbides (MXenes) in water treatment with an emphasis on adsorption-reduction properties of MXenes and MXene-based composites is reviewed.

Physical removal of textile dyes from effluents and solid-state fermentation of dye-adsorbed agricultural residues (vol 72, pg 219, 2000)

TL;DR: In this paper, three agricultural residues, wheat straw, wood chips and corn-cob shreds, were tested for their ability to adsorb individual dyes and dye mixtures in solutions.
