Dyes are used extensively in textile industries. The wastewater of these industries contains high amounts of pollutants which can be toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic and needs to be treated before being discharged into the environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the application of eggshell as a sorbent for the removal of Acid Orange 3 from synthetic wastewater. This study is applied experimental research which was performed on a laboratory scale. Eggshell as a sorbent was prepared at laboratory temperature and pulverized by standard ASTM sieves in two sizes (50 and 140). The concentration of dye in the synthetic wastewater was 25 mg/L. In this study, increasing adsorbent dose from 2 to 5 g/100 mL led to an increase in the adsorption efficiency from 36.6% to 55.36% and by decreasing the size of eggshell particles from 50 to 140 mesh, the adsorption efficiency increased. The maximum adsorption took place in the first 90 minutes of the reaction. By increasing pH from 5 to 9, the process efficiency increased from 78 to 82%; however, at pH higher than 9, the adsorption efficiency decreased. Additionally, the adsorption characteristics of this pollutant on eggshell fitted Freundlich isotherm (R2 >0.989). Due to the characteristics of textile wastewater such as alkaline pH, eggshells can be used as a natural adsorbent in textile wastewater treatment.

Removal of cadmium from aqueous solution was studied by using Quetta pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) leaves. Batch adsorption experiments were performed as a function of appropriate equilibrium time, pH, concentration of adsorbate and amount of adsorbent. The optimum pH required for maximum adsorption was found to be 7.0 and the maximum contact time for the equilibrium was 30 minutes at adsorbent dose of 10 g. The maximum adsorption efficiency of cadmium removal was 98.50%. The results were better fitted by Langmuir than Freundlich isotherm. The separation factor of equilibrium 0.12 and 0.67 showed that Quetta pine leaves are good adsorbent of cadmium from aqueous solution DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjb.v43i3.21598 Bangladesh J.

Adsorption is one of the promising strategies for aqueous dye remediation. A lot of attention has been paid to textile wastewater treatment using smart materials. In this study, we formed the N-FeO to test its properties by using FTIR and TEM technique. We also tested AC, N-FeO and mixed N-FeO/AC to investigate the adsorption efficiency of lipophilic cationic dye (LCD) removal from aqueous solutions of each individually under. The results showed that the removal percentage of lipophilic cationic dye by using activated crbon was increasing significantly with AC wight (Pvalue < 0.01), and the highst removal was to 0.1 ppm of dye (52%). While the lowest dye removal percentage was 14.3% of 1ppm dye concentration and 0.05g AC. The rmoval of dye, by using N-FeO, was depant on the concentration of dye and the amount of N-FeO. The highst percentage of dye removal was 45% ±3.69 of 0.1 ppm concentration with using 0.3g and 0.35 g of N-FeO. While the lowest removal percentage of dye was 7.3%±2.49 of 1ppm with using 0.05g of N-FeO. The using of N-FeO/AC mixture leads to a significant removal percentage of dye in different concentrations compared with using each of them a lone. By this mixture, the highest removal of dye reached to 98%±3.47, 92%±3.96, and 88%±1.44 of 0.1ppm, 0.5ppm, and 1ppm respectively by using 0.35g of N-FeO/AC mixture. While the lowest dye removal percentage was 54%±1.1, 46%±0.98, and 40%±2.49 of 0.1ppm, 0.5ppm, and 1ppm respectively by using 0.05g of N-FeO/AC mixture. This study suggested that the increase in adsorption at low dye concentration was due to the availability of active sites that were saturated While the adsorbing surface area will increase with the N-FeO/AC mixture, the percentage of dye removal at constant temperature will also increase, and it is nessesary to using more chemometric test of this mixture for testing the best removal environment of this kind of dye.

Algerian water resources are scarce, and unequally distributed. The region is facing severe water shortage problems due to climate conditions, uneven precipitations, and the long periods of drought. Moreover, the demand for water from the urban population, industry, and especially agriculture is rapidly increasing. Water management represents an economic and ecological challenge to cope with this demand, conserve the water resources and reduce the environmental pollution. The present paper reviews the textile wastewater treatment and feasibility of reuse. The treatment was performed using a combined process; adsorption on bentonite (B) followed by electroflotation (EF). The effects of B concentration, pH, contact time and current density, were investigated under optimal conditions for maximal dye elimination. Water reuse activity, the potentials, risks and issued associated with reclaimed water reuse are also reviewed. The results were well fitted by both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models and show that the effluent treated by this combined method contained essentially no turbidity, color or COD 99, 01%, 99, 49% and 99, 8% are the removal rates obtained, respectively. The treated effluent quality satisfied the requirement of water discharges standards and integration of other factors is needed to reuse this water.

Chitosan-based nanofibres were synthesized using a fibre electrospinning technique and tested for the removal of 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol from aqueous solutions. The downside of chitosan-based materials is swelling. In this study, it was found that the addition of polyisoprene not only improved the electrospinning ability of chitosan but also reduced the swelling of the nanofibres by 50%. The adsorption studies of 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol on the chitosan-based nanofibres were conducted in a batch process. The nanofibres were found to remove up to 90% of 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol with an adsorption reduction capacity of 12% at each cycle of reusability test. The reduction capacity was associated with the chemical interaction of the adsorbate and the adsorbent. This indicated that the nanofibres can effectively remove 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol from water for at least 3 cycles. The adsorption efficiency improved as the degree of cross-linking was reduced and the adsorption mechanism followed the Freundlich isotherm suggesting that the adsorption of 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol occurred in different layers on the surface of the nanofibres. The degree of crosslinking of the electrospun nanofibres with glutaraldehyde was found to affect theadsorption capacity. Nanofibres with different degrees of crosslinking were used to study the effect of pH, adsorbent dose, and initial concentration.

Abstract Given the highly complex recalcitrant nature of synthetic dyes, biological treatment of textile wastewater using efficient bacterial species is still considered as an environmentally friendly manner. In this study, a reactive blue 19 (RB19)-degrading strain, Bacillus sp. JF4, which was isolated by resuscitation-promoting factor (Rpf) strategy, was immobilized into polyvinyl alcohol–calcium alginate–activated carbon beads (JF4-immobilized beads) for RB19 decolorization. Results suggest that the JF4-immobilized beads, which were capable of simultaneous adsorption and biodegradation, showed a high decolorization activity, while they exhibited better tolerability towards high RB19 concentrations. The JF4-immobilized beads could almost completely decolorize 100 mg/L RB19 within 10 d, while only 92.1% was decolorized by free bacteria within 12 d. Further investigation on the equilibrium and kinetics of the adsorption process suggests that the pseudo-second-order model best fit the adsorption kinetics data, and the Freundlich isotherm was the most suitable for the description of the equilibrium data. Notably, the repeated batch cycles indicated that complete decolorization of 100 mg/L RB19 by JF4-immobilized beads can be maintained for at least three cycles without much reduction in efficiency. These findings suggest that immobilizing Rpf-resuscitated strain into beads was an effective strategy for textile wastewater treatment.

One of the heavy metals contained in the textile industry wastewater is chromium (Cr). Chromium hexavalent ions (Cr6+) are highly toxic and its accumulation in the human body will cause various negative impacts. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of silica synthesized by the sol-gel method to gain homogeneity and high purity. Synthesized silica was calcined at 700°C for 4 hours and its performance to adsorb Cr(VI) ions  in textile wastewater was investigated. The presence of -OH group from silanol (–Si-OH) was appeared at wavenumber 3367.70 cm-1, meanwhile siloxane functional groups were recorded at 1056.99 cm-1 and 784.38 cm-1 due to the O-Si-O asymmetric stretching and Si-O bending vibration. Optimum conditions of silica to adsorb Cr(VI) ions took place at pH 2 and contact time of 90 minutes by adsorption efficiency of 75,65% and followed the Freundlich isotherm.

The aim of this work was to optimize the biodegradation of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) containing actual textile wastewater for a sustainable treatment solution. The isolated microbial consortia of effective PVA degrader namely Candida Sp. and Pseudomonas Sp., which were responsible for symbiotic degradation of chemical oxidation demand (COD) and PVA from desizing wastewater. In the process optimization, the maximum aeration was essential to achieve a high degradation rate, where as stirring enhances further degradation and foam control. Batch experiments concluded with the need of 16 lpm/l and 150 rpm of air and stirring speed respectively for high rate of COD and PVA degradation. Optimized process leads to 2 days of hydraulic retention time (HRT) with 85–90% PVA degradation. Continuous study also confirmed above treatment process optimization with 85.02% of COD and 90.3% of PVA degradation of effluent with 2 days HRT. This study gives environment friendly and cost effective solution for PVA containing textile wastewater treatment.
