Hydrogel biocomposite using graphene oxide and agar biopolymer (agar-GO) was synthesized to treat textile wastewater through fixed-bed adsorption. After characterization, batch experiments were conducted to evaluate the pH effect in the adsorption process, adsorption isotherms, and kinetics for four cationic dyes – Nile Blue A (NB), Methylene Blue (MB), Malachite Green (MG) and Basic Fuchsin (BF). Adsorption equilibrium isotherms were fitted to Freundlich, Langmuir and Sips models, and kinetic data were ...

Water pollution is a serious environmental problem and coloured pigments are considered one of the greatest concerning contaminants. Graphene, a new two-dimensional material presenting high theoretical specific surface area, has been widely studied for applications in wastewater treatment. It was the aim of this work to study the feasibility of producing Graphene Oxide (GO) under different conditions, using Factorial Design techniques, so that it could be successfully applied in the adsorptive removal ...

Characterization and test a magnetic graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposite (Fe3O4-GO) in the photo-degradation of Methylene Blue (MB), Reactive Black 5 (RB), and Acid Blue 80 (AB) dyes were investigated in this work. Measurements indicated that GO was decorated by Fe3O4. Kinetic tests showed that the process was more efficient in degrade MB – %Degradation MB>RB>AB; also in the regeneration and reuse of the photocatalyst. Regarding the phytotoxicity, all seeds germinated, although a decrease in the root length ...

This work focused on producing different graphene oxide (GO) samples for further application in the adsorptive removal of dyes from real textile wastewater. Among all conditions tested, the sample produced using KMnO4 and no sonication bath exhibited the best performance. Before the experiments using wastewater, kinetics and equilibrium of adsorption studies were performed with Methylene Blue (MB) dye. Experimental data showed the isotherm fitted the Freundlich model, and kinetic results fitted the ...

This work aimed to evaluate the adsorption of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) and Basic Blue 12 (BB12) dyes using biochar from gasification of wood waste. Langmuir isotherm fit better to experimental data, exhibiting maximum adsorption capacities of 35.67 mg·g−1 (RB5), and 80.41 mg·g−1 (BB12). Kinetics indicated the equilibrium was reached after 90 min for RB5 and 180 min for BB12, and Elovich model best represented the experimental points. Kinetics were also modeled following a phenomenological approach, and ...

Abstract Textile effluent is one of the most hazardous types of wastewater for both the environment and human health when discharged without proper treatment. This work stands out as one of the first to evaluate the parameters for the application of graphene oxide (GO) to treat real textile wastewater. A comparative analysis was conducted to investigate the removal efficiencies of turbidity and apparent colour from raw textile wastewater using GO. The effects of different parameters, such as GO dosage, ...

The adsorptive capacity of xGnP® graphite nanoplatelets (GNP) was evaluated for the removal of Drimaren Dark Blue CL-R (DDB), Direct Red 80 (DR80), Chrysophenine (CH) and Eosin Yellowish (EY). Kinetic pseudo-second-order (PSO) model best fitted the experimental data for all evaluated dyes. Moreover, sorption capacity at equilibrium state for DDB, DR80, CH and EY were 22.14, 38.36, 28.68 and 156.77 mg g−1, respectively. Equilibrium data for the DDB dye were best fitted to the BET type IV model, while DR80, ...

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the influence of operational parameters (foaming agent concentration, agitation time, and drying temperature) on the characteristics of the final product and the foam drying process of Momordica charantia L . leaves, in addition to performing mathematical modeling of the experimental data. The foam characteristic was most influenced by the foaming agent concentration, where the increase in this variable increased its stability, reaching the highest index of 0.9838 ± ...
