Application of the Natural Cellulosic Supports for the Treatment of the Industrial Effluents
Abstract
Wastewater treatment is one of the most important concerns of the research studies in the field of environmental protection. The current study relates to the removal of Crystal violet dye from aqueous solutions through adsorption experiments onto natural cellulosic supports.
Various waste materials that have in their composition lignocellulose are adsorbent supports with low costs for the removal of heavy metal ions and dyes from aqueous solutions.
The use of chemically modified sawdust to obtain an inexpensive adsorbent for removing the Crystal violet dye (CV) from synthetic aqueous solutions has been presented in this research paper. The influence of some important parameters such as: initial dye concentration, adsorbent dose, contact time and temperature on adsorption efficiency for this dye removal have been studied. The Freundlich, Langmuir and Temkin mathematical models have been used to evaluate the data of Crystal violet adsorption from aqueous media using wood sawdust.
The research study shows that beech wood sawdust (Fagus sylvatica), as an agricultural waste which is readily available and relatively inexpensive has the potential to be an applicable alternative adsorbent for Crystal violet dye removal from industrial effluents.
