Abstract

Dyes are usually present in the treated effluents of textile industry. The effectiveness of adsorption for dyes removal from wastewaters has made it an ideal alternative to other expensive treatment methods. For that, the adsorption of three textile dyes: Methylene blue, basic yellow and JK2R, on powdered activated carbon was studied in aqueous solution using the batch equilibration technique. The modeling of the adsorption equilibrium showed that the adsorption of this dyes fitted a Langmuir isotherm. Adsorption was influenced by the adsorbent concentration and solution characteristics such as pH and ionic strength.
