Anodic oxidation of textile dyehouse effluents on boron-doped diamond electrode

TL;DR: Performance was improved at higher electrolyte concentrations and lower pH values, while the effect of temperature was marginal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioremediation of dyes by fungi isolated from contaminated dye effluent sites for bio-usability

TL;DR: The excellent performance of A. niger and P. chrysporium in the biodegradation of textile dyes of different chemical structures suggests and reinforces the potential of these fungi for environmental decontamination.

Use of Agro-Industrial Wastes for Removal of Basic Dyes from Aqueous Solutions

TL;DR: In this article, the potential of three different agro-industrial waste materials of lignocellulosic origin, i.e., coir pith (CP), sawdust (SD), and sugarcane fiber (SF), was investigated in the case of basic dyes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced Cationic Dyes Removal from Aqueous Solution by Oxalic Acid Modified Rice Husk

TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption of two basic dyes, namely, methylene blue (MB) and malachite green (MG), onto natural rice husk (NRH) and oxalic acid modified rice hulls (MRH) was studied in a batch adaption system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Removal of methylene blue from aqueous solution by peat.

TL;DR: Results indicated a multi-layered process and the data were analyzed considering pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion approaches, where the latter two mechanisms seem to be significant in the rate-controlling step.
