Academic literature on the topic 'Dye RO16'

This study focused mainly on the color removal of textile azo dye Reactive Orange 16 (RO16) by electrochemical oxidation. The effect of supporting electrolyte (H2SO4 and NaOH), RO16 concentration (from 0.5 to 10 mM) and potential scan rate (between 20 and 500 mV/s) was performed with cyclic voltammetry using platinum (Pt) wire as working electrode. The anodic peak current density was linear to RO16 concentrations. This allows the lowest concentrations to be determined voltammetrically in the two electrolytic media, acid (H2SO4 1 M) and alkaline (NaOH 0.1 M). Linearity between the current density and the square root of the potential scan rate was observed in both electrolytes. This means that the electrochemical reaction at the electrode-electrolyte interface is controlled by the diffusion process. The slope of the logarithm of peak current density versus the logarithm of potential scan rate was found to be 0.43 for RO16 in H2SO4 and 0.48 in NaOH these values of slop are close to the thеoretical value of 0.5 which confirms the diffusion process. The removal efficiency of the dye in acid electrolyte reached 40%, while it is 18% in the basic media after 4 hours of electrolysis by chronoamperometry.

The photodegradation of C.I. Reactive Orange 16 (RO16), commonly used as a textile dye, was investigated using TiO2 as a catalyst and the sun lamp. The experiments showed that TiO2 and simulated solar light are necessary for the effective photodegradation, although a low degradation/adsorption was observed when only the simulated solar light or TiO2 was used. The effect of some parameters such as the initial concentration of the catalyst, the initial dye concentration, the initial Na2CO2 and NaCl concentrations, pH, and the presence of H2O2 on photodegradation of RO16 was examined. The photodegradation efficiency was highest at the catalyst concentration of 2.0 g/l. The degradation was faster in the acidic than in alkaline pH range. High adsorption of the dye was observed at low pH, while at high pH almost no adsorption was detected. A lower concentration of Na2CO2 decreased the photodegradation of RO16, while a higher concentration increased the photodegradation. The presence of NaCI led to the inhibition of the photodegradation process. The low concentration of H2P2 increased the RO16 photodegradation efficiency, while at higher concentration of H2O2 inhibition was observed.

Evaluated removal of reactive orange 16 (RO16) dye from aqueous solution was studied in batch mode by using kenaf core fiber as low-cost adsorbents. In this attempt, kenaf core fiber with size 0.25–1 mm was treated by using (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (CHMAC) as quaternization agent. Then effective parameters include adsorbent dose, pH, and contact time and initial dye concentration on adsorption by modified kenaf core fiber was investigated. In addition, isotherms and kinetics adsorption studies were estimated for determination of the equilibrium adsorption capacity and reactions dynamics, respectively. Results showed that the best dose of MKCF was 0.1 g/100 mL, the maximum removal of RO16 was 97.25 at 30°C, pH = 6.5, and agitation speed was 150 rpm. The results also showed that the equilibrium data were represented by Freundlich isotherm with correlation coefficientsR2=0.9924, and the kinetic study followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with correlation coefficientsR2=0.9997forCo=100 mg/L. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity was 416.86 mg/g. Adsorption through kenaf was found to be very effective for the removal of the RO16 dye.

The presence of dyes in wastewater effluents made from the textile industry is a major environmental problem due to their complex structure and poor biodegradability. In this study, a cationic lignin polymer was synthesized via the free radical polymerization of lignin with [2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl] trimethyl ammonium chloride (METAC) and used to remove anionic azo-dyes (reactive black 5, RB5, and reactive orange 16, RO16) from simulated wastewater. The effects of pH, salt, and concentration of dyes, as well as the charge density and molecular weight of lignin-METAC polymer on dye removal were examined. Results demonstrated that lignin-METAC was an effective flocculant for the removal of dye via charge neutralization and bridging mechanisms. The dye removal efficiency of lignin-METAC polymer was independent of pH. The dosage of the lignin polymer required for reaching the maximum removal had a linear relationship with the dye concentration. The presence of inorganic salts including NaCl, NaNO3, and Na2SO4 had a marginal effect on the dye removal. Under the optimized conditions, greater than 98% of RB5 and 94% of RO16 were removed at lignin-METAC concentrations of 120 mg/L and 105 mg/L in the dye solutions, respectively.

Waste wood biomass as precursor for manufacturing activated carbon (AC) can provide a solution to ever increasing global water quality concerns. In our current work, Melia azedarach derived phosphoric acid-treated AC (MA-AC400) was manufactured at a laboratory scale. This novel MA-AC400 was tested for RO16 dye removal performance as a function of contact time, adsorbent dosage, pH, temperature and initial dye concentration in a batch scale arrangement. MA-AC400 was characterized via scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and fluorescence spectroscopy. MA-AC400 is characterized as mesoporous with BET surface area of 293.13 m2 g−1 and average pore width of 20.33 Å. pHPZC and Boehm titration confirm the acidic surface charges with dominance of phenolic functional groups. The average DLS particle size of MA-AC400 was found in the narrow range of 0.12 to 0.30 µm and this polydispersity was confirmed with multiple excitation fluorescence wavelengths. MA-AC400 showed equilibrium adsorption efficiency of 97.8% for RO16 dye at its initial concentration of 30 mg L−1 and adsorbent dose of 1 g L−1. Thermodynamic study endorsed the spontaneous, favorable, irreversible and exothermic process for RO16 adsorption onto MA-AC400. Equilibrium adsorption data was better explained by Langmuir with high goodness of fit (R2, 0.9964) and this fitness was endorsed with lower error functions. The kinetics data was found well fitted to pseudo-second order (PSO), and intra-particle diffusion kinetic models. Increasing diffusion constant values confirm the intraparticle diffusion at higher RO16 initial concentration and reverse was true for PSO chemisorption kinetics. MA-AC400 exhibited low desorption with studied eluents and its cost was calculated to be $8.36/kg.

Background: Bulk generated textile wastewater loaded with dyes is posing a stern threat to aquatic health, especially when dumped without prior treatment. Lignocellulosic waste based activated carbon (AC) and Titania (TiO2) suspension can constitute the emerging technological solution. Objectives: Best lignocellulosic precursor biomass, Melia azedarach (Darek sawdust - DSD), was selected for ortho-phosphoric acid impregnated AC production and novel AC-DSD-TiO2 nanocomposite was developed. AC-DSD and AC-DSD-TiO2 nanocomposites were employed for reactive orange 16 (RO16) dye adsorption in batch and decoloration in photocatalytic reactors, respectively. Methods: Materials were characterized by Scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersion X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). For AC-DSD production, the raw powdered biomass of DSD impregnated (value = 2) with H3PO4 at room temperature and after shaking, was placed in a muffle furnace at 100°C for 12 h in glass tubes and subsequently carbonized at a high temperature of 400°C for 30 min. Batch reactor parameters for the ACDSD- RO16 system were optimized as a function of contact time, adsorbent dose, temperature, initial dye concentration and pH. For AC-DSD-TiO2 nanocomposite synthesis, AC-DSD and TiO2 paste was dried in the furnace at 90°C and calcined at 300°C and stored in a desiccator. Results: AC-DSD exhibited RO16 adsorption capacity of 92.84 mg/g. The experimental data were best described by Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms with high R2 of 0.9995 and 0.9895 and closeness of predicted adsorption capacities of 94.15 and 88.58 mg/g respectively. This determines the chemisorption nature for RO16 adsorption onto AC-DSD. The experimental data was well explained by the pseudo-second order kinetic model. Thermodynamic parameters also suggest the endothermic, chemisorption and spontaneous adsorption reaction. Photocatalytic studies of novel AC-DSD-TiO2 revealed the higher Kc = 0.1833 value over Kad= 0.0572. Conclusions: Melia azedarach AC-DSD and its novel AC-DSD-TiO2 nanocomposite prove that these materials could provide an optimal solution for treating textile dye solutions effectively as the good adsorbent and photocatalyst.

The concentration of surfactant is usually determined by a colorimetric method. A simplified colorimetric method for determining cationic surfactant was proposed which has advantages over the existing colorimetric method where less chemical is used and the overall time to perform the analysis per sample is reduced by half. These methods were tested based on analyzing the ionic interaction of cationic surfactant-reactive orange 16 (PBE-RO16) mixtures. A linear correlation was observed between the absorbance ratio of PBE-RO16 mixture/dye and PBE concentration. Results obtained from this study shows that the error between the two methods is only about ±20% except for PBE concentration less than 20 mg/L. Therefore, the proposed simplified colorimetric method can be considered as an alternative method for determination of cationic surfactant in aqueous solution in the future.

The photochemical decolorization of C.I. Reactive Orange 16 (RO16), a reactive textile azo dye by the UV/H2O2 process using a batch photoreactor with UV lamps emitting at 253.7 nm, was studied. Complete decolorization of 50.0 mg dm-3 initial dye concentration was achieved in less than 6 min under optimal conditions (25 mM initial peroxide concentration, at pH 7.0 and with UV light intensity 1950 ?W cm-2). The effect of experimental variables, such as initial pH, initial concentration of H2O2, initial dye concentration, and the intensity of UV light was studied. The highest decolorization rates were performed at peroxide concentration in range from 20 mM up to 40 mM, above which decolorization was inhibited by a scavenging effect of peroxide. The decolorization was more efficient in neutral pHs. The efficiency of the process was improved in lower initial dye concentration and at higher intensity of UV light.

In this work, Zn(CH3COO)2 ? 2H2O with AgNO3 content from 0 to 6mol% was solvothermally treated at 120?C for 18 h in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), ethylene glycol and sodium hydroxide. The structural, microstructural and photocatalytic properties of the unmodified and Ag modified ZnO powders have been investigated by the XRPD, FESEM, TEM, UV-vis, Raman and BET techniques. The Ag modified samples consist of ZnO nanocrystals and metallic Ag on the surface. The average crystallite size of all samples was about 20 nm. The FESEM revealed the uniformity in size and approximately spherical shape of ZnO nanoparticles. The BET data suggest that all prepared samples are mesoporous. All prepared samples showed higher photocatalytic efficiency in the degradation of the Reactive Orange 16 (RO16) azo dye than the commercial ZnO. In addition, Ag modified ZnO powders, especially those with 1.5 and 0.75mol%of Ag, were more efficient than the unmodified one.

Removal of dyes in industrial effluents has received attention due to increased awareness and stricter environmental laws. Adsorption is one of the techniques successfully employed for effective removal of color. Research has been directed to the type of adsorbent in use. In this work, we used chitosan and its derivatives by physical and chemical modification. The adsorbents in addition to Chitosan (Q) obtained by modification were chitosan crosslinked with Glutaraldehyde (QG), Chitosan Ball crosslinked with Glutaraldehyde dried Alcohol (EQGA), Chitosan Ball crosslinked with Glutaraldehyde dried Greenhouse (EQGE) Chitosan ball crosslinked with glutaraldehyde dried by lyophilization (EQGL), Chitosan Ball with gold nanoparticles incorporated on silica inserted NaOH crosslinked with Glutaraldehyde dried by lyophilization (EQnAuSiO2 - NaOHGL) and Chitosan Ball with gold nanoparticles incorporated on silica inserted into crosslinked gel with Glutaraldehyde dried by lyophilization (EQnAuSiO2 - gelGL). The materials produced were characterized and important information showing the difference between materials, although they are essentially chitosan. The dye used in this work was the dye Reactive Orange 16 (RO16). The best conditions for the adsorption of the dye were obtained by kinetic tests, and thermodynamic equilibrium. For kinetic assays, the equilibration time was about 200 min for the adsorbents. The removal percentage of RL16 dye was around 83% and 99%, with the exception of EQGA which reached a minimum of 13%. As for the kinetic model, we studied the kinetics of pseudo first order and pseudosegunda order, with all adsorbents framed in the kinetics of pseudosegunda order, futher on the analysis by intraparticular diffusion, confirming the influence of more than onde fator in the adsorption. The Langmuir and Freundlich model were used to fit the experimental data, with the QG materials, EQGA and EQGE adjusted to Langmuir isotherm and Q, EQGL, EQnAuSiO2 - NaOHGL and EQnAuSiO2 - gelGL adjusted to Freundlich isotherm. Regarding the various forms of drying the chitosan beads produced, the method by lyophilization presented better removal of the dye under study, including comparing with pure chitosan and chitosan crosslinked with glutaraldehyde. Thus, by comparing the lyophilized adsorbents observed greater efficiency EQnAuSiO2 - gelGL in the removal of the dye with a maximum adsorption capacity of 5000 mgg-1 at 25 °C. According to the thermodynamic information, the adsorptive process is endothermic for QG, EQGA and EQGE being exotherm to Q EQGL, EQnAuSiO2 - NaOHGL and EQnAuSiO2 - gelGL. The enthalpy are supported by the free energy data indicating spontaneous process for Q, EQGL, EQnAuSiO2 - NaOHGL and EQnAuSiO2 - gelGL, and not spontaneous QG, EQGA and EQGE. The results show that the dry sorbent by lyophilization containing gold nanoparticles with incorporation silica at room temperature are the best conditions, according to the data of this work for the removal of dye RO16 can this be used as an alternative for the treatment of wastewater from textile industry.

A remoção de corantes em efluentes industriais tem recebido enorme atenção, devido ao aumento da conscientização e ao maior rigor das leis ambientais. A adsorção é uma das técnicas empregada com sucesso para remoção efetiva da cor. Pesquisas vêm sendo direcionadas para o tipo de adsorventes em uso. Neste trabalho, utilizou-se quitosana e seus derivados por modificação física e química. Os adsorventes além da quitosana (Q), obtidos por modificação da mesma foram, Quitosana reticulada com Glutaraldeído (QG), Esfera de Quitosana reticulada com Glutaraldeído seca à Álcool (EQGA), Esfera de Quitosana reticulada com Glutaraldeído seca à Estufa (EQGE), Esfera de Quitosana reticulada com Glutaraldeído seca por Liofilização (EQGL), Esfera de Quitosana com nanopartículas de ouro incorporadas em sílica inseridas em NaOH reticulada com Glutaraldeído seca por Liofilização (EQnAuSiO2 – NaOHGL) e Esfera de Quitosana com nanopartículas de ouro incorporadas em sílica inseridas em gel reticulada com Glutaraldeído seca por Liofilização (EQnAuSiO2 – gelGL). Os materiais produzidos foram caracterizados e informações importantes mostram a diferença entre os materiais, apesar de serem essencialmente quitosana. O corante utilizado no presente trabalho foi o corante Reativo Laranja 16 (RL16). As melhores condições para a adsorção deste corante foram obtidas, mediante ensaios cinéticos, de equilíbrio e termodinâmicos. Para os ensaios cinéticos, o tempo de equilíbrio foi em torno de 200 min para os adsorventes. O percentual de remoção do corante RL16 foi em torno de 83% e 99%, com exceção do EQGA que chegou a atingir um mínimo de 13%. Quanto ao modelo cinético, foram estudados a cinética de pseudoprimeira ordem, pseudosegunda ordem, estando todos os adsorventes enquadrados na cinética de pseudosegunda ordem, além da análise por disfusão intrapartícula, confirmando a influência de mais de um fator na adsorção. Os modelos de Langmuir e Freundlich foram utilizados para ajustar os dados experimentais, estando os materiais QG, EQGA e EQGE ajustados para isoterma Langmuir e Q, EQGL, EQnAuSiO2 – NaOHGL e EQnAuSiO2 – gelGL ajustados para isoterma Freundlich. Em relação as diferentes formas de secagem das esferas de quitosana produzidas, o método por liofilização apresentou a melhor remoção do corante em estudo, inclusive comparando com a quitosana pura e a quitosana reticulada com glutaraldeído. Desta forma, ao comparar os adsorventes liofilizados observa-se uma maior eficiência para EQnAuSiO2 – gelGL na remoção do corante, com uma capacidade máxima de adsorção de 5000 mgg-1 a 25 °C. De acordo com as informações termodinâmicas, o processo adsortivo é endotérmico para QG, EQGA e EQGE, sendo exotérmico para Q, EQGL, EQnAuSiO2 – NaOHGL e EQnAuSiO2 – gelGL. As informações de entalpia são corroboradas pelos dados de energia livre indicando processo espontâneo para Q, EQGL, EQnAuSiO2 – NaOHGL e EQnAuSiO2 – gelGL, e não espontâneo para QG, EQGA e EQGE. Os resultados obtidos mostram que o adsorvente seco por liofilização contendo nanopartículas de ouro com incorporação de sílica à temperatura ambiente são as melhores condições, segundo os dados deste trabalho para a remoção do corante RL16 podendo este ser empregado como alternativa para o tratamento dos efluentes aquosos da indústria têxtil.
