Abstract. The present study deals with the application of bottom ash, a power plant waste, and deoiled soya, an agricultural waste, for the adsorptive removal of carmoisine A dye from its aqueous solutions. This paper incorporates a comparative study of the adsorption characteristics of the dye on these effective adsorbents along with effects of time, temperature, concentration, and pH. Ana…
Removal of toxic substances from wastewaters using low-cost alternatives to activated carbon is an important area in environmental sciences. Efforts have been made to convert a fertilizer waste and a steel industry waste into low-cost potential adsorbents. The developed products have been used for the removal of 2-aminophenol from aqueous solutions and wastewaters. Studies were conducted to …
