The adsorption of methyl orange dye from aqueous solution was investigated with active carbon powder as sorbents. Effects of selected factors were studied through the use of L16 (44) orthogonal experiment for the optimal parameter. The results demonstrated that the orders of their influences were contact time > initial dye concentration > the dosage of active carbon powder > pH. It was then concluded that contact time must be given priority in removing methyl orange dye from wastewater. Under the optimum conditions (the dosage 10g, time70min, initial dye concentration 35mg/L, pH7), The active carbon powder possessed good adsorption capacity to methyl orange which the removal efficiency could reached 95.96%.

This study investigated the treatment of methyl orange dye from aqueous solution with granular activated carbon as sorbents. Adsorption experiments were carried out at different contact time, the dosage of granular activated carbon, pH and initial dye concentration.Orthogonal experiment was designed to analyze the influence degree of operating parameters for optimizing adsorption process. The results demonstrated that the dosage of granular activated carbon had the greatest impact on the removal efficiency of methyl orange , followed by pH, contact time and initial concentration of methyl orange . The granular activated carbon possessed good adsorption capacity to methyl orange which the removal efficiency could reached 98.06% at the optimum dosage 4g and optimum time 90min.

In the present study, three kinds of zeolite (NaP1, NaA, and NaX) were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. These zeolites were modified by cetyl trimethyl-ammonium bromide (CTAB), and used to adsorb methyl orange (MO). NaP1 had the highest adsorption capacity, with a 99.7% MO removal percentage. An orthogonal experiment was conducted to determine the influence of adsorbent dosage, solution pH, initial MO concentration, contact time, and solution temperature on NaP1. The results showed that the initial MO concentration had the most significant effect. The adsorption isotherms of the zeolites are in a good agreement with the Langmuir formula, and the adsorption mechanism is also discussed.

Magnetic lignin-based adsorbent (MLA) was successfully fabricated to remove methyl orange dye from aqueous solution. The synthesized MLA was characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). In the process of adsorption, influence factors and recycling performance were considered, and the adsorption mechanisms such as isotherm and kinetics were investigated. The result showed that the equilibrium data was consisted with the Langmuir model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 85.0 mg/g. The adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model. Based the adsorption performance, MLA showed good recyclability. Therefore, these results demonstrate that MLA could offer a great potential as an efficient and reusable adsorbent in the wastewater treatments.

In this study, the ability of titania dioxide nanoparticles (TiO ) to remove methyl orange dye in aqueous solution was investigated. The effects of TiO dosage (i.e. 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6 and 2 g), pH (i.e. 4, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12) temperature (30, 40 and 50°C) and light source (i.e. UV, sunlight and dark room) on the removal of methyl orange dye were studied. The experiments were conducted under the UV light irradiation with the presence of air bubbling. The samples were analyzed using UV-vis spectrophotometer at wavelength of 467 nm. From this study, it was found that the TiO dose, pH, temperature and the presence of light had a strong effect on the removal of dye. The removal of dye was optimum at TiO loading of 2.0 g, pH of 4, temperatureof 30°C and under UV light condition. Dalam kajian ini, kebolehupayaan titanium dioksida (TiO ) untuk menyingkirkan pewarna metil oren daripada larutan telah dikaji. Kesan-kesan dos TiO (iaitu 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6 and 2 g ), pH (iaitu 4,6,8,10 dan 12) suhu (iaitu 30, 40 and 50°C) dan sumber cahaya (UV, cahaya matahari dan bilik yang gelap) terhadap penyingkiran pewarna metil oren telah dikaji. Eksperimen telah dijalankan di bawah radiasi UV dengan kehadiran oksigen terlarut. Sampel telah dianalisa menggunakan UV-vis spektrofotometer dengan panjang gelombang 467 nm. Daripada kajian ini, telah didapati bahawa dos TiO , pH, suhu dan kehadiran cahaya memberikan kesan yang ketara terhadap penyingkiran pewarna. Penyingkiran pewarna adalah paling optimum pada dos TiO, 2 g, pH, 4, suhu, 30°C dan dibawah cahaya UV.

The absorbents including MnO2, fly ash, NaY zeolite and activated carbon powder were used to study the adsorption capacity of phenol. The effect of contact time and dosage of absorbents on the removal efficiency were investigated. The experimental results suggested that activated carbon powder is most effective absorbent, following as fly ash, MnO2 and NaY zeolite which the removal efficiency could reached 98.41%,77.65%, 60.19% and 24.13% at 90min respectively. The data indicated that the activated carbon powder was favorable for adsorption while NaY zeolite was unfit for absorbent of phenol from aqueous solution due to lower removal.
