Industrial, agricultural, and domestic activities of humans have affected the environmental system, resulting in drastic problems such as global warming and the generation of wastewater containing high concentration of pollutants. As water of good quality is a precious commodity and available in limited amounts, it has become highly imperative to treat wastewater for removal of pollutants. In addition, the rapid modernization of society has also led to the generation of huge amount of materials of little value that have no fruitful use. Such materials are generally considered as waste, and their disposal is a problem. The utilization of all such materials as low-cost adsorbents for the treatment of wastewater may make them of some value. An effort has been made to give a brief idea about the low-cost alternative adsorbents with a view to utilizing these waste/low-cost materials in the treatment of wastewater.

Cationic and anionic dye adsorption by agricultural solid wastes: A comprehen...IOSR Journals
Dyes are an important class of pollutants, and can even be identified by the human eye. Disposal of dyes in precious water resources must be avoided, however, and for that various treatment technologies are in use. Among various methods adsorption occupies a prominent place in dye removal. Recently many researchers have proved that agricultural solid wastes can be effectively used as adsorbents for the removal of many pollutants including dyes. This review represents the effectiveness of agricultural solid wastes in the removal of dyes, of cationic and anionic classes, description of classification of dyes and comparison among cationic and anionic dyes adsorption by the same adsorbent, thus, possibly opening the door for a better understanding of the dye classified adsorption process. Both these classes of dyes are toxic and cause severe problems to aquatic environment. Some agricultural solid wastes can remove both dye classes. The dye adsorption capacities of agricultural waste adsorbents vary along with the variation in pH of solution, initial dye concentration, adsorbent dosage and process temperature. As the pH of the solution affects the surface charge of the adsorbent and degree of ionization of the adsorbate, it is directly related to the dye classified adsorption. This review also contains the table representing the adsorbent and subsequent dye/dyes appropriate for a particular process. Conclusions have been drawn from the literature reviewed, and suggestions for future research are proposed.
The present study was an effort to obtain paint degrading bacterial isolate from wall scrapings. The study included that microorganisms such as bacteria, not only cause discoloration of paint surfaces but also, they can directly cause degradation of the materials through their metabolic activities. The Halophilic microorganisms are well known for their paint degrading activity. As evidenced from the literature survey, there is a great diversity of bacteria and fungi that are capable of growing on paint coating. The presence of various polymer compounds used in paint manufacturing makes it resistant to degradation and continue to be a potential hazard to the environment as well as humans. Use of nonabrasive and environmentally safe methods, to reduce the impact of microbial activities can further reduce the damage as well as help in bioremediation of paint contaminated water, soil and environments to clean up.
Treatment of Effluent from Granite Cutting Plant by Using Natural Adsorbents ...IJERD Editor
Granite cutting plant is one such industry that releases polluting and turbid effluent. The residue from all these processes is discharged with water as an effluent. The effluent mainly contains many solids that harm the environment. Hence it requires treatment techniques before disposal. Several conventional methods are available for removal of contaminants like coagulation, adsorption, polyelectrolyte methods and biological methods. Most of them are cost prohibitive. The reduction of solids concentration in the effluent before disposal by using the techniques, coagulation followed by adsorption using natural adsorbents, like rice husk carbon and saw dust carbon, in contrast to the usage of activated carbon as it is costly. From a local Granite cutting plant near Anantapur, the effluent is collected and its physico-chemical characteristics are estimated and found to be pH(7.5), TS(4240mg/l), TSS(21560mg/l), TDS(12373mg/l).Effluent obtained is subjected to coagulation by potash alum followed by adsorption using saw dust carbon and rice husk carbon.

A Review on Applicability of Photocatalyst Titanium dioxide for Treatment of ...IJERA Editor
Greywater reuse has attracted great attention for sustainable management of water especially under water
scarcity conditions. However, the effort has been limited by the presence of toxic organics in the effluent which
in turn inhibits the public acceptance of recycling water. The existence of those organic pollutants, which cannot
be eliminated by conventional primary and secondary treatment processes, can be problematic. Hence it is
necessary to explore a sustainable, robust and affordable method for treatment of greywater. Photocatalytic
oxidation is an emerging technology that could be suitable to remove refractory organic compounds found in
greywater. Recently titanium dioxide (TiO2) gained wide attention for photocatalytic oxidation of organic matter
of wastewater. Because it is biologically and chemical inert, resistant to chemical corrosion and can work at
ambient temperature and pressure, without addition of chemical species. The irradiation of titanium dioxide
dispersions by ultraviolet (UV) (300-400 nm) light can lead to the formulation of highly reactive hydroxyl
radicals which attack the pollutant molecule to degrade it into carbon dioxide, water and mineral acids.This
technology has advantages, such as, the integration into small places, low maintenance and easy operation.
COD reduction of aromatic polluted waste water by Advanced Oxidation Process ...Wade Bitaraf
In most petrochemical complexes and oil refineries the wastewater contains the aromatic compounds among which Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl Benzene and Xylene (BTEX) have harmful effects on environment and human health. The present work mainly deals with the UV-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), UV/H2O2 were tested in batch reactor systems to evaluate the removal efficiencies and optimal conditions for the photodegradation of BTEX in order to wastewater treatment. The efficiency of this method was analyzed by evaluating the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) as a pollution criterion through the COD reactor. The influence of the basic operational parameters such as initial concentration of H2O2, pH, Temperature, irradiation time and UV amount on the photo degradation of BTEX were also studied. The oxidation rate of BTEX and respectively the reduction rate of COD were low when the oxidation was carried out in the absence of H2O2 or UV light. The addition of proper amount of hydrogen peroxide improved the degradation, while the excess hydrogen peroxide could quench the formation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH). The optimal conditions of suspended slurry with 1.11(g/l) initial concentration of H2O2 and pH value of 3.1 were obtained under three UV lights illumination (6 W). Under the optimal conditions, COD reduction during the initial period of 180 min in UV/H2O2 systems reached about 90%.
Azo dyes are one of the oldest industrially synthesized organic compounds characterized by presence of Azo bond (-N=N-) and are widely utilized as coloring agents in textile, leather, cosmetic, paint, plastic, paper, and food industries During textile processing, inefficiencies in dyeing result in large amounts of the dyestuff (varying from 2% loss when using basic dyes to a 50% loss when certain reactive dyes used) is being directly lost to the wastewater, which ultimately finds its way into the environment. The physico-chemical method of industrial effluent treatment does not remove the dyes effectively. Microbial degradation and decolorization of azo dyes has gained more attention recently because of eco-friendly and inexpensive nature. Microbes and there enzymes could decolorize the dyes by both aerobic and anaerobic metabolis. This review provides a general idea of decolorization and biodegradation of azo dyes with various microbes and highlights the application of for the treatment of azo dye-containing wastewaters.
The use of nanoparticles and nanotechnology to enhance the microbial activity to remove pollutants, they also enhance bioremediation.
NanoBioremediation has the potential not only to reduce the overall costs of cleaning up large-scale contaminated sites, but it can also reduce clean up time.

This project employs a residue of the food industry to recover the wastewaters from the textile industry, allowing closing the loop in two different industrial processes. Orange peel is a very abundant residue in the food industry. By chemical modification of the orange peel, we aim to produce a biosorbent to be employed in the treatment of the textile industry wastewater containing cationic dyes. In this project, we evaluate the capacity of the treated orange peels as cationic interchanger with different dissolutions of copper (II). Finally, their capacities as biosorbents were evaluated with four cationic dyes, examining the influence of different parameters like: biosorbent concentration, contact time, temperature and pH of the medium. An adsorption between 51 and 92 % was reached with the first treatment and also the possibility of the biosorbent recovery.

Removal of Lead Ion Using Maize Cob as a BioadsorbentIJERA Editor
The intensification of industrial activity and environmental stress greatly contributes to the significant rise of
heavy metal pollution in water resources making threats on terrestrial and aquatic life. The toxicity of metal
pollution is slow and interminable, as these metal ions are non bio-degradable. The most appropriate solution for
controlling the biogeochemistry of metal contaminants is sorption technique, to produce high quality treated
effluents from polluted wastewater. Maize cob readily available was used as sorbent for the removal of lead ions
from aqueous media. Adsorption studies were performed by batch experiments as a function of process
parameters such as sorption 500ppm,2.5g, 400minutes, 400 rpm and 5 PH. Concentration, Dosage, time, rpm,
and pH. I have found that the optimized parameters are Freundlich model fits best with the experimental
equilibrium data among the three tested adsorption isotherm models. The kinetic data correlated well with the
Lagergren first order kinetic model for the adsorption studies of lead using maize cob. It was concluded that
adsorbent prepared from maize cob as to be a favorable adsorbent and easily available to remove the heavy
metal lead (II) is 95 % and can be used for the treatment of heavy metals in wastewater.
Metal ion and contaminant sorption onto aluminium oxide-based materials: A re...Dr. Md. Aminul Islam
Nanosized aluminium oxides (NAOs) are an important class of minerals widely found in soil, sediment, aquifer,
and aquatic environments. Over the decades, these minerals have been explored as sorbents for the removal of
wastewater contaminated with metal ions, anions, organic dyes, humic substances, phenolic compounds, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals from contaminated wastewater. This review summarizes the reported research of
NAOs as sorbents and provides details on their sorption capacities including maximum removal capacity under
various experimental conditions. Information on the composition, synthesis, characterization and experimental
parameters together with sorption mechanisms is provided. A compilation of such information is not currently
available and so this review should enable workers in the area to make more informed choices on suitable
sorbents for large-scale environmental samples and be able to develop more efficient processes for environmental pollutant clean-up
Agricultural by-Products/Waste as Dye and Metal Ions Adsorbents: A Reviewresearchinventy
A major treat to the comfort of human life has been imposed by the unintentional and great increased industrialization and urbanization. Their generations and land disposals of huge amounts of toxic materials and pollutants have contributed in contaminating our environment frighteningly. Synthetic dyes (SD) and heavy metals (HM) are becoming increasingly prevalent in soil and surface water environments, as the most dangerous pollutants. They are present a great concern worldwide, due to their toxicity to many life forms. Environment-friendly utilization of agricultural by-products/waste materials either as raw materials or in production of the so-called activated carbons (AC) is an important issue. Because, it is apparent from our literature review that the main factors characterizing these materials are the inexpensiveness, the local availability and their efficiencies in removal of heavy metals and dyes from contaminated water. A number of different agricultural by-product/wastes as renewable and potential sources for green adsorbent production has been listed in this review. Additionally, the paper has provided the reader with an overview of a number of case studies which were conducted by scientists and researchers. These case studies have pointed out to the efficient removal of SD/HM ions from aqueous solutions by the agricultural by-products/wastes in the form of a raw material, spent tea leaves (STL), spent coffee ground(SCG), and rice husk (RH) wastes were selected as a good examples. Besides, the efficient removal of such ions by AC produced from the same raw materials has been also reviewed. Both kinds are widely used adsorbents in the treatment of wastewaters. High adsorption capacity, cost effectiveness, and environmentally friendly, and their abundance in nature are the important factors which explain why the adsorbent materials derived from an agricultural by-product/wastes is economical for the removal of dye and metal ions from contaminated water. Comparison of different technologies of wastewater treatment especially heavy metals and dyes were also listed in this review
Phytomass valorization by deep eutectic solvents - achievements, perspectives...Michal Jablonsky
In recent years, a plethora of extraction processes have been performed by a novel class of
green solvents known as deep eutectic solvents (DESs), possessing several environmental, operational,
and economic advantages proven by experience when compared to organic solvents and ionic
liquids. The present review provides an organized overview of the use of DESs as extraction
agents for the recovery of valuable substances and compounds from the original plant biomass,
waste from its processing, and waste from the production and consumption of plant-based food.
For the sake of simplicity and speed of orientation, the data are, as far as possible, arranged in
a table in alphabetical order of the extracted substances. However, in some cases, the isolation
of several substances is described in one paper and they are, therefore, listed together. The table
further contains a description of the extracted phytomass, DES composition, extraction conditions,
and literature sources. With regard to extracted value-added substances, this review addresses their
pharmacological, therapeutic, and nutritional aspects. The review also includes an evaluation of
the possibilities and limitations of using DESs to obtain value-added substances from phytomass.
Removal of dye from polluted water using novel nano manganese oxide-based mat...Dr. Md. Aminul Islam
Dyes are priority pollutants, commonly found at significant concentrations in textile effluents. The presence of dyes stuffs in wastewater can cause severe problems to aquatic life and human beings. Therefore, the removal of dyes from wastewater is important in order to minimize their hazardous effects on the environment. One way of removing dyes is to use nanosized manganese oxides (MnOs). To date, there has been much work reported on the use of nanosized MnOs as sorbents for dyestuffs. They are promising sorbents for commercial use due to their amorphous nature, high specific surface areas (SSA), mesoporous structure, and low to the moderate point of zero charge (pHPZC). This review summarizes the toxicity and recent advances for removing dyes from wastewater using nanosized MnO sorbents. The article also describes the various experimental parameters necessary for adsorption optimization, such as adsorption time, pH, initial dye concentration, amount of sorbent and temperature. Adsorption mechanisms investigated by various modeling approaches are also discussed. In particular, it was observed that much work has been reported on the use of birnessite and its composites for dye removal. There are many papers reporting on the use of MnO in batch mode dye removal, but very few that report on the use of MnO in continuous column removal systems. Therefore, there is still a considerable need for further research to develop effective and economical large scale MnO column systems for commercial use.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

ABSTRACT
Industrial, agricultural, and domestic activities of humans have affected the environmental system, resulting in
drastic problems such as global warming and the generation of wastewater containing high concentration of
pollutants. As water of good quality is a precious commodity and available in limited amounts, it has become
highly imperative to treat wastewater for removal of pollutants. In addition, the rapid modernization of society
has also led to the generation of huge amount of materials of little value that have no fruitful use. Such materials
are generally considered as waste, and their disposal is a problem. The utilization of all such materials as low-
cost adsorbents for the treatment of wastewater may make them of some value. An effort has been made to give
a brief idea about the low-cost alternative adsorbents with a view to utilizing these waste/low-cost materials in
the treatment of wastewater.
Keywords - Adsorption, color, dye effluent, isotherms, low- cost adsorbents.
I. INTRODUCTION
The textile industry is one of the largest
manufacturing industries. In every stage of textile
industry various types of dyes are used to color their
products. The dye containing wastewater is usually
released directly into the nearby drains, rivers,
stagnant, ponds or lagoons. Such wastewater disposal
may cause damage to the quality of the receiving
water bodies, the aquatic eco-system and the
biodiversity of environment. The dyeing industry
effluents contain high BOD and COD value,
suspended solids, toxic compounds and the color that
is perceived by human eyes at very low
concentration. Moreover, dyes may adversely affect
the aquatic life because of the presence of aromatic
materials, metals and chlorides etc. The color
removal was extensively studied using different
methods such as coagulation, flocculation, ultra-
filtration, nano-filtration, photo oxidation, activated
carbon etc [1].
Industrial waste constitutes the major source of
various kinds of metal pollution in natural water.
Wastewaters generated from industrial treatment
plant contain considerable metal contaminants. Their
concentrations must be reduced to safe levels before
being released into the environment. Rapid
industrialization has led to increase disposal of heavy
metal into the environment. The metals are of special
concern because of their persistency [8]
.
physicochemical technique includes adsorption,
coagulation, chemical precipitation, ultra filtration,
etc. Among of these methods, adsorption is the most
effective and economical because of their relative
low cost. The adsorbents may be of minerals,
organics, or biological origin, zeolites, industrial bi
products, agriculture wastes, biomass and polymeric
materials. The major advantage of an adsorption
system for water pollution control are less investment
in terms of both initial cost and operational cost,
simple design, easy operation and no effect of toxic
substances compared to conventional biological
treatment processes [3].
1.1 Adsorption
Adsorption is a fundamental process in the
physiochemical treatment of wastewaters, a treatment
which can economically meet today's higher effluent
standards and water reuse requirements. Adsorption
is a mass transfer process which involves the
accumulation of substances at the interface of two
phases, such as, liquid–liquid, gas–liquid, gas–solid,
or liquid– solid interface. The substance being
adsorbed is the adsorbate and the adsorbing material
is termed the adsorbent [1]
. The driving force for
adsorption process is Surface affinity. Chemical
reactivity, pH, surface area for adsorption per unit
volume and reduction in surface tension is key
parameter for adsorption.
Adsorption is a sorption operations, in which
certain components of a fluid phase, called solutes,
are selectively transferred to insoluble, rigid particles
suspended in a vessel or packed in a column.
Adsorption is a separation process in which certain

components of the fluid phase are transferred to the
surface of the solid adsorbents.
The phenomenon of the enrichment of chemical
substances at the surface of a solid is called
adsorption. All adsorption performance processes are
depends on solid-liquid equilibria and on mass
transfer rates. The adsorption operation can be batch,
semi-batch and continuous [12]
.
Among the unit operations in water and
wastewater treatment adsorption occupies an
important position.
Adsorption operations exploit the ability of
certain solids preferentially to accumulate specific
substances from solution onto their surfaces.
Sorption, includes selective transfer to the surface,
and for into the bulk of liquid. In a general adsorption
process, the adsorbed solutes are referred to as
adsorbate and the adsorbing agent is the adsorbent.
Theoretically, the adsorption of solute on to solid
particles normally takes four essential steps:
a) Solutes diffuses through the fluid to an area near
the solid particle surface,
b) Solute diffuses to the external surface of the
particle,
c) Solute diffuses to the pore wall,
d) Solute adsorbs to the internal surfaces of the pore
wall.
1.1.1Types of Adsorption:
At molecular level, adsorption is due to
attractive interactions between a surface and the
species being adsorbed.
• Physical adsorption: It is a result of intermolecular
forces of attraction between molecules of the
adsorbent and adsorbate. Physical adsorption occurs
when the intermolecular attractive forces between
molecules of a solid and the gas are greater than
those between molecules of the gas itself.
Furthermore, it occurs lower or close to the critical
temperature of the adsorbed substance.
• Chemisorptions: It is a result of chemical
interaction between the solid and the adsorbed
substance. It is also called activated adsorption.
Commercial adsorbents rely on physical adsorption;
catalysis relies on chemisorptions.
• Chemisorptions occur only as a monolayer and
substances chemisorbed on solid surface are hardly
removed because of stronger forces
II.Natural Adsorbents Used For Color
Removal
2.1 Clay:
Clay are natural adsorbent classified based on
their difference in layered structure. The available
classes of clay materials include smectites
(montmorillonite, saponite), mica (illite), kaolinite,
serpentine, pylophyllite (talc), vermiculite and
sepiolite [4]
. The process by which adsorption takes
place is as a result of net negative charge on the
structure of minerals, and it’s this negative charge
that gives the clay mineral the capability to adsorb
positively charged species. Most of Their sorption
properties depends their high surface area and high
porosity.
2.2 Siliceous Materials:
Natural Siliceous materials are one of the most
availability and low price adsorbent. It includes silica
beads, perlite and dolomite, and glasses. The use of
these minerals was based on chemical reactivity of
their hydrophilic surface and mechanically stable,
which results from the presence of silanol groups.
But among all this, silica beads is given particular
attention in the use of the material as adsorbent.
However, it is reported that, a major problem with
this kind of application is their low resistance toward
alkaline solutions their usage is limited to media of
pH less than 8.
2.3 Zeolites:
Zeolites occur naturally as porous alumino
silicates consisting of different cavity structures and
are linked together by shared oxygen atoms. Zeolite
has a wide variety of species. More than 40 natural
species are available which includes clinoptilolite and
chabazite[5]
. But, clinoptilolite, a mineral of the
heulandite group is the most and frequently studied
material, due to its have high selectivity for certain
pollutants. Intensive research has been done on the
use and application of zeolite as adsorbent in
removing trace quantities of pollutants such as heavy
metal ions and phenols with regards to their cage-like
structures suitable for ion exchange.
2.4 Color Removal Using Activated Carbons From
Waste Water:
Activated carbons are derived from natural
materials such as wood, lignite or coal, which are
commercially available. But almost any
carbonaceous material may be used as precursor for
the preparation of carbon adsorbents. Coal is the most
commonly used precursor for AC production because
of its availability and cost effective [5]
. Coal
comprises of different mixtures of carbonaceous
materials and mineral matter, which results from the
degradation of plants. The nature, origin and the
extent of the physical–chemical changes occurring
after deposition of vegetation, determines the
sorption properties of each individual coal.
Attention has been drawn on the use of coal as a
successful sorbents for dye removal. Additionally,
coal is not a pure material, and thus will have
different sorption properties due to its large variety of

surface properties. Recently there has been report on
the use of activated carbon in the treatment of dye
and heavy effluents. Materials such as peanut shell,
raw pine and acid-treated pine cone powder. Neem
leaf, coconut shell has been proved in reducing the
concentration of pollutants in wastewater
successfully. Their sorption capacity increases with
increasing in adsorbent dosage.

III. METHODS OF ADSORPTION[15]
Adsorption is carried out by two systems:
3.1 Batch Reactor: In batch-type contact processes a
quantity of carbon is mixed continuously with a
specific volume of water until the contaminants have
ben decreased to a desired level. The carbon is then
removed and either discarded or regenerated for use
with another volume of solution. If finely powdered
carbon is used in this type of system, separation of
the spent adsorbent from the water may be difficult.
Conversely, the use of large particles of carbon,
which are removed more rapidly when exhausted,
requires longer periods of contact between solution
and adsorbent, necessitating larger basins or tanks in
which to retain the water during treatment.
3.2 Column Type Reactor: Column-type
continuous-flow operations have an advantage over
batch type operations because rates of adsorption
depend on the concentration of solute in the solution
being treated. For column operation the carbon is
continuously in contact with afresh solution.
Consequently, the concentration in the solution in
contact with a given layer of carbon in a column
changes very slowly. For batch treatment, the
concentration of solute in contact with a specific
quantity of carbon decreases much more rapidly as
adsorption proceeds, thereby decreasing the
effectiveness of the adsorbent for removing the
solute[14]
.
The rate of exhaustion of carbon in most waste
treatment applications is usually not high enough to
justify moving-bed adsorbers for column or bed type
systems. Thus a fixed-bed adsorber is generally
preferred. Up-flow expanded operation of fixed beds
of activated carbon permits the use of small particles
for faster adsorption rates without the associated
problems of excessive head-los, air-binding, and
fouling with particulate matter common to packed-
bed operation with fine media[14]
. In expanded-bed
operation, the water flows upward through a column
of relatively fine granular carbon at a velocity
sufficient to suspend the carbon. Packed-bed
adsorption techniques have conventionally ben used
for water treatment. Expanded-bed technology is
relatively new.
For fixed-bed (either packed or expanded)
adsorption operations with activated carbon the water
or wastewater to be treated is passed through a
stationary bed. Non steady-state conditions prevail in
that the carbon continues to remove increasing
amounts of impurities from solution over the entire
period of useful operation.
IV. EFFECT OF LOW-COST
ADSORBENTS ON VARIOUS
WASTEWATERS
Based on various researches, it has been proved
that eco- friendly adsorbents have been satisfied as an
alternative substitution of activated carbon for the
removal of dyes from wastewater. Adsorbents
prepared from sugarcane, baggase- an agro industries
waste has been successfully used to remove the
methyl red from an aqueous solution.
Maximum removal efficiency achieved up to
85% for biosorbent prepared from Neem Leaves at
the optimum values of parameters such as pH,
dosage, contact time, etc. The analyses of the results
indicate that egg shell, chitosan, etc. like most other
natural absorbents can be used in the treatment
process of heavy metals and the treatment efficiency
may be as high as 100% by choosing the adsorbent
amount precisely. The concentration of heavy metals
has also an important effect on the treatment
outcome. Chitosan, egg shell wastes are cheap
material and thus it would be convenient to use it in
industrial wastewater treatment plants.
Saw dust an agriculture by-product acts as an
effective adsorbent for the removal of basic dye like
congo red from its aqueous solution.
Low-cost adsorbents like peanut husk charcoal,
fly ash and natural zeolite are effective for the
removal of Cu2+
and Zn2+
ions from aqueous
solutions.

Wood apple shell, a fruit-food solid waste, was
successfully utilized as a low cost alternative
adsorbent for the removal of hazardous dye
Malachite Green MG. The removal of MG dye was
found to be 98.87%.
V. PROPERTIES OF LOW-COST
ADSORBENTS
4.1 Chitosan: Chitosan and its derivatives are
examples of value-added materials. They are
produced from chitin, which is a natural carbohydrate
polymer found in the skeleton of crustaceans, such as
crab, shrimp. Chitosan is a polymer obtained from
deacetylation of chitin.
4.2 Egg shell: Egg shell is largely-crystalline
calcium carbonate. The calcium comes partly from
the hen's bones and when necessary the hen can
mobilize 10 percent of her bone for the purpose.
4.3 Rice husk: Rice husk is an agricultural waste
material generated in rice producing countries,
especially in Egypt. The annual world rice production
is approximately 500 million metric tons, of which
10–20% is rice husk [5]
. Dry rice husk contains 70–
85% of organic matter (lignin, cellulose, sugars, etc.)
and the remainder consists of silica, which is present
in the cellular membrane. In recent years, attention
has been focused on the utilization of unmodified or
modified rice husk as an adsorbent for the removal of
pollutants.
4.4 Fly ash: Fly Ash is a naturally-cementations
coal combustion by-product. It is extracted by the
precipitators in the smokestacks of coal-burning
power plants to reduce pollution Since the fly ash
disposal problem emerged with the advent of
pollution control systems in the 1960’s and 1970’s,
extensive research has been done to understand how
it performs in its orthodox capacity – as a soil
stabilizer and structural concrete admixture[5].
VI. ADSORPTION ISOTHERMS AND
MODELS
An adsorption isotherm is the presentation of the
amount of solute adsorbed per unit weight of
adsorbent as a function of the equilibrium
concentration in the bulk solution at constant
temperature. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption
isotherms are commonly used for the description of
adsorption data[8]
.
The Langmuir equation is expressed as:
Ce/qe= 1/bXm+Ce/Xm
Where,
Ce is the equilibrium concentration of solute
(mmolL−1
).
qe is the amount of solute adsorbed per unit weight
of adsorbent (mmol g−1
of clay).
Xm is the adsorption capacity (mmol g−1
) or
monolayer capacity, and b is a constant (L mmol−1
).
The Freundlich isotherm describes
heterogeneous surface adsorption. The energy
distribution for adsorptive sites (in Freundlich
isotherm) follows an exponential type function which
is close to the real situation. The rate of
adsorption/desorption varies with the strength of the
energy at the adsorptive sites.
The Freundlich equation is expressed as:
logqe= logk+ 1/nlogCe
Where,
k (mmol g−1
).
1/n are the constant characteristics of the system.
VII. ADVANTAGES OF ADSORPTION
PROCESS
Cheap: The cost of adsorbent is low since they are
often made from locally, abundantly and easily
available materials.
Metal Selective: The metal adsorbing
performance of different types of bio-mass can be
more or less selective on different metals.
Regenerative: Sorbent material can be possible to
reuse after regeneration.
No Sludge Generation: Unlike the problems in
other techniques (ex: precipitation), there is no
issue of sludge generation in adsorption process.
Metal Recovery: If adsorbate is a metal ion, it is
possible to recover the metal ion after being
desorbed from the adsorbent materials.
Competitive Performance: Performance of
adsorption process in terms of efficiency and cost
is comparable with the other methods available.
VIII. CONCLUSION
In this review, a wide range of non-conventional
low- cost adsorbents has been presented.
Inexpensive, locally available and effective materials
could be used in place of commercial activated
carbon for the removal of dyes from aqueous
solution. Undoubtedly low-cost adsorbents offer a lot
of promising benefits for commercial purposes in the
future. In particular, from the recent literature
reviewed, chitosan-based sorbents have demonstrated
outstanding removal capabilities for certain dyes in
comparison to activated carbon [1]
. However, despite
a number of papers published on low-cost adsorbents,
there is as yet little information containing a full
study of comparison between sorbents. Although
much has been accomplished in the area of low-cost

sorbents, much work is necessary (i) to predict the
performance of the adsorption processes for dye
removal from real industrial effluents under a range
of operating conditions, (ii) to better understand
adsorption mechanisms and (iii) to demonstrate the
use of inexpensive adsorbents at an industrial scale.
