Textile industry is one of the major industries in the world that provide employment with no required special skills and play a major role in the economy of many countries. The textile industry utilizes various chemicals and large amount of water during the production process. Colour is the major pollutants present in the effluent from various textile industries. These are highly toxic to living things and have hazardous effect on their health. Thus removal of colour using natural flocculant is a major step towards the protection of natural resources. Coagulation-flocculation is the most widely used method and is applicable for the removal of the colour even at low concentrations. This paper represents the results of investigations carried out for the removal of colour along with SS, DS, TS and COD from waste water by using natural flocculant i.e. Cactus, Aloevera, and combination of Cactus & Aloevera. The colour removal efficiency of flocculant was investigated by batch wise coagulation flocculation method. The effect of various important parameters on the % removal of colour was studied to find the optimum condition for the maximum removal of colour. The parameters like pH, coagulant dose, flocculant dose, coagulant mixing time, coagulant mixing speed, flocculant mixing time, flocculant mixing speed, setting time & concentration of waste water were investigated. These parameters for Cactus were found to be 12, 10 ml/L, 20 ml/L, 2 min, 140 rpm, 15 min, 70 rpm, 6 min, 300 ml/L respectively, for Aloevera were Journal of Water Resource Engineering & Pollution Studies Volume 5 Issue 1 found to be 11.5, 10 ml/L, 100 ml/L, 2 min, 140 rpm, 15 min, 30 rpm, 1 min, 300 ml/L respectively and simultaneously for combination of Cactus & Aloevera were found to be 12, 10 ml/L, 10% + 80% (Cactus + Aloevera dose) ml/L, 2 min, 140 rpm, 25 min, 50 rpm, 10 min, 300 ml/L respectively. These natural flocculants gives maximum colour removal efficiency in the range 85-100%. The colour removal efficiency was found in between 85-100% for all parameters. All the result was validated on the basis of mathematical analysis. All the graphs were fitted to various trend lines out of which polynomial third order curve is best fit to experimental work as the coefficient of correlation (R2 value) is closer to unity.

Natural materials that are readily available in large amounts in nature and easily accessible may be used as low cost additives. The aim of this study is to measure the susceptibility of these locally available materials, conocarpus plant, to improve the quality of wastewater discharged from textile industry.  In addition to conocarpus plant, carbonized conocarpus and activated carbon were used as adsorbents in order to make a comparison, and to test which one of the three types give the best efficiency for removing dye. The ability of adsorbents to adsorb dye was studied using batch system; studied parameters were effect of pH, dose of adsorbents, time, and agitation speed. The experimental results showed that the maximum removal efficiency of conocarpus was found to be 87.5% at 50 rpm mixing speed, pH value 3 , mixing time 120 min and the dose of adsorbent was 0.25 g.  The maximum removal efficiency for carbonized conocarpus was up to 98.7% at 150 rpm mixing speed, pH value 3 , mixing time was equal to 7 hours and the dose of sorbent was 1.25 g. For activated carbon the maximum removal efficiency was found to be 99% at mixing speed of 200 rpm, pH value 3 or 11, mixing time was equal to 7 hours and the dose of the sorbent was 1.25 g. The above removal efficiencies were obtained at temperature 20 °C.

In the paper, the optimization of the coagulation process for Kaolin and humic acid removal using polymeric aluminum ferric sulfate (PAFS) was studied. In order to obtain the maximum turbidity and humic acid removal efficiency of Kaolin and humic acid simulated wastewater, the optimum coagulation conditions was investigated with the factors of mixing speed and time. Furthermore, mixing speed and time including parameters affecting the coagulation performance such as rapid mixing speed, rapid mixing time, slow mixing speed and slow mixing time using single factor and orthogonal array L9 (34) analysis were examined. The results showed that the optimum single factor of mixing speed and time indicated rapid mixing speed of 350 rpm, rapid mixing time of 1.0 min, slow mixing speed of 60 rpm and slow mixing time of 20 min. Then the orthogonal optimization experiment of mixing speed and time indicated maximum HA removal efficiency was 97.5% at rapid mixing speed of 350 rpm, rapid mixing time of 1.25 min, slow mixing speed of 60 rpm, and slow mixing time of 20 min.

Water contamination seems unavoidable as many human activities involve the use of water in one way or the other. Chemical coagulants, especially aluminium based, which are widely used in treatment of wastewater or contaminated water have been associated with some health issues. Research on the use of plant based coagulants in water treatment now draws a lot of attentions, not only because the natural coagulants are presumed safe but also because of their biodegradable nature. In this present study, efforts have been made to evaluate the effectiveness of locally available tamarind seed powder as natural coagulant and Sodom apple (Calotropis procera) as coagulant aid for the treatment of textile wastewater. The tests were carried out using the conventional jar test apparatus at various pH and coagulant dosage with no aid added. Also, three sets of jar test experiments were performed at constant values of coagulant dosage and pH (which were found to be favourable in the first experiments) by varying the dosage of liquid and solid coagulant aid as well as time. The results obtained show that pH slightly affected the pollutants removal efficiency of the unaided coagulation. The neutral pH was found to be favourable with turbidity and colour removal of 22.25% and 30.36% respectively. The optimum mixing time of turbidity removal efficiency was found to be 2 min with rapid mixing of 30 seconds and 1½ min of slow mixing with turbidity and colour removal of 69.48% and 60.53% respectively. The optimum dosage was found to be 4.0 g of coagulant and 1.0 g of coagulant aid for turbidity, total dissolved solid and colour removal efficiency.

Dalam kajian ini, satu siri eksperimen penjerapan berkelompok telah dijalankan untuk menyiasat kecekapan penyingkiran warna oleh CSAC dan CACs daripada air sisa. Kecekapan penjerapan telah dinilai dengan mengukur peratus penyingkiran warna. Kesan larutan pH, kepekatan adsorben, masa betindak balas dan kepekatan warna asal terhadap kecekapan penyingkiran warna juga telah disiasat. Penjerapan warna optimum dicapai pada pH rendah (pH 1.68), kepekatan warna asal yang rendah (50mg/l) dan 12g/l dos karbon dengan kecekapan penyingkiran sebanyak 75% untuk CAC dan 45% bagi CSAC, dengan pergolakan selama satu jam. Kecekapan penyingkiran warna yang rendah iaitu 25% untuk CAC dan 17% untuk CSAC telah diperoleh pada pH tinggi (ph 9-12), kepekatan warna asal yang tinggi iaitu 100mg/l dan dos karbon yang rendah untuk tempoh penahanan yang sama. Perbandingan antara model isotherm Langmuir dan Freundlich ke atas data penjerapan menunjukkan bahawa model isotermal Langmuir menunjukkan keputusan yang lebih baik dengan pekali korelasi, R2 yang lebih tinggi. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa CSAC boleh digunakan sebagai alternatif kos rendah untuk CAC untuk menyingkirkan pewarna daripada air sisa tetapi kecekapannya penyingkirannya adalah lebih rendah berbanding CAC. Kata kunci: Warna pengeluaran; air sisa; arang batu; kelapa shell; karbon teraktif; Adsorpsi sesuhu In this study, series of batch adsorption experiment were conducted to examine the color removal efficiency of CSAC and CACs from waste water. The CAC is coal base activated carbon while the CSAC was manufactured in the laboratory. Yellow dye colour (Tartrazine E102) was utilized as the colourant. The adsorption efficiencies of the adsorbents were evaluated and compared by measuring the percentage of color removed. The effects of solution pH, adsorbent concentration, contact time as well as initial color concentration on the colour removal efficiency were also investigated. The optimum adsorption of color was achieved at low pH (pH 1.68), low initial color concentration (50mg/L) and 12g/l carbon dosage with removal efficiency of 75% for CAC and 45% for CSAC, with one hour agitation. Lower colour removal efficiency of 25% for CAC and 17% for CSAC were obtained at higher pH (pH 9-12), higher initial color concentration (100mg/L) and low carbon dosage, under the same retention time. A comparison of the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models of the adsorption data shows that Langmuir isotherm shows higher correlation coefficient, R2. The results indicate that CSAC has the potential as a low cost alternative for colour removal but the efficiency is lower than CSAC.

Water is essential for all living things however its pain has become serious. Many industrial activities cause its pollution by the release of polluting byproduct. Waste water treatment is hence necessary. In this context, the waste water of the textile industry containing Red Acid 52 was treated by the solid waste of the washed natural phosphate byproduct. Natural phosphate was also studied. The solid materials were first characterized by chemical analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The phosphate materials were after that, tested in the adsorption of the Red Acid 52. The experimental data indicated that the phosphate waste rock allowed the removal of Red Acid 52. Its maximum retention capacity attained 18.4 mg.g-1. Calcinations of materials inhibits the removal capacity found reduced by 60 to 70%. The adsorption kinetics of the Red Acid 52 on the material is well described by the pseudo second order model while the adsorption isotherms are identified by the Langmuir model. Hereafter, the thermodynamic study revealed that the adsorption process is spontaneous and exothermic. Keywords: Waste water, Phosphate co-product, Adsorption, Red Acid 52.

Abstract It would be of great significance to introduce a new biocompatible Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH) for the efficient remediation of wastewater. Herein, we designed a facile, biocompatible and environmental friendly layered double hydroxide (LDH) of NiFeTi for the very first time by the hydrothermal route. The materialization of NiFeTi LDH was confirmed by FTIR, XRD and Raman studies. BET results revealed the high surface area (106 m2/g) and the morphological studies (FESEM and TEM) portrayed the sheets-like structure of NiFeTi nanoparticles. The material so obtained was employed as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of organic dyes from synthetic waste water. The dye removal study showed >96% efficiency for the removal of methyl orange, congo red, methyl blue and orange G, which revealed the superiority of material for decontamination of waste water. The maximum removal (90%) of dyes was attained within 2 min of initiation of the adsorption process which supported the ultrafast removal efficiency. This ultrafast removal efficiency was attributed to high surface area and large concentration of -OH and CO32− groups present in NiFeTi LDH. In addition, the reusability was also performed up to three cycles with 96, 90 and 88% efficiency for methyl orange. Furthermore, the biocompatibility test on MHS cell lines were also carried which revealed the non-toxic nature of NiFeTi LDH at lower concentration (100% cell viability at 15.6 μg/ml). Overall, we offer a facile surfactant free method for the synthesis of NiFeTi LDH which is efficient for decontamination of anionic dyes from water and also non-toxic.

Waste toner powders are considered as hazardous materials to human and living things, and should be properly recycled by many effective ways due to their fine particle sizes and complex components. In this paper, waste toner powders were used as raw materials to successfully synthesize three dimensions (3D) graphene oxide (GO) hydrogel by means of a one-pot chemical transformation based on the improved Hummers’ method. The obtained 3D GO hydrogel has porous structure and abundant oxygen-containing functional groups because of the inherent 3D solid structure of waste toner powder and the strong oxidation process of the improved Hummers’ method. Interestingly, the as-prepared 3D GO hydrogel with excellent adsorptive property could quickly remove Pb(II) ions (100 mg/L, removal efficiency of 96% and removal capacity of 144 mg/g) and methylene blue (50 mg/L, removal efficiency of 97% and removal capacity of 48 mg/g) from water, respectively. The preparation process of 3D GO hydrogel was simple and easy to operate, and the output can be moderately mass produced, thus it would provide a new and effective disposal way for the recycling and reusing of waste toner.

Abstract The performance of Vigna unguiculata coagulant (VUC) for colour removal from acid dye was investigated in this study. The proximate, structure and morphology of the coagulant were investigated using standard official methods, Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. Response surface methodology (RSM) using face-centred central composite design (FCCD) optimized four process variables including pH, coagulant dosage, dye concentration and time. The colour removal efficiency obtained from the optimization analysis was 99.26% at process conditions of pH 2, coagulant dosage 256.09 mg/l, dye concentration 16.7 mg/l and time 540 min. The verification experiments agreed with the predicted values having a standard error value of 1.96%. Overlay contour plot established optimum areas where the predicted response variable is in an acceptable range (≥ 70%) with respect to optimum conditions. The FCCD approach was appropriate for optimizing the process giving higher removal efficiency when compared to the main effect plots.
