The present article deals with the removal of two basic dyes MB and MG [i.e. methylene blue and malachite green] from a solution mixture using Rice Husk Ash, an agricultural waste. MB and MG are most commonly used dyes in textile industries and removal of two dyes with higher concentrations from the solution mixture is a typical attempt to solve the real life problem on dye removal. The effects of bed depth, influent concentration, flow rate, pH of the influent solution on breakthrough curve were investigated. Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, Adamas-Bohart and Bed Depth Service Time [BDST] model were used to validate the adsorption performance and breakthrough curves. The removal of dyes at different flow rate [5, 7.5, 10, 12.5 ml/min], bed depths (6, 8, 10 cm), influent concentrations [170, 190, 200, 240 mg/L] and pH value [5.1, 7, 9.2] using Rice Husk Ash as an adsorbent were studied. The experimental results indicated that percentage adsorption of dyes increased with decreasing flow rate, increasing bed depth and lowering of influent concentration. The results further revealed that the percentage removal of dyes in the mixture was 99 %.Adams-Bohart and Thomas model were performed well than the other two models in use.

Modified magnetite nanoparticles with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as super...Iranian Chemical Society
This paper reports application of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) coated magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) as a novel adsorbent for removal of two types of disperse dyes, including disperse red 167, and disperse blue 183, from wastewater of textile companies. The effect of parameters including type of surfactant, pH of solution, surfactant concentration, and amount of salt, was investigated and optimized. The obtained results showed that the ratio of initial dye concentration to CTAB amounts has critical effect on removal processes so that removal efficiencies higher than 95% can be achieved even at high concentration of dyes as high as 500 mg l-1 when the ratio is optimum. Removal of dyes is very fast, and equilibrium is reached at times less than 10 min even for high concentration of the dyes. Very high adsorbent capacity (as high as 2000 mg g-1) was yielded for maximum tested concentration of the dyes (500 mg g-1). The obtained result was confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis data. This study showed that CTAB coated Fe3O4 NPs is a very efficient adsorbent for removal of dyes from wastewater of textile companies and has high capacity under optimum conditions.

Abstract: Model using Iraqi limestone as an adsorbent has been investigated. The influences of equilibrium time, limestone dosage, limestone particle size, pH of solution, adsorption isotherms and temperature on adsorption performance have been experimentally verified by a batch method. The adsorbent used in this study exhibited a good adsorption potential at initial pH 10, temperatures 28ºC, particle size 75 μm, limestone dosage 0.1g for equilibrium time 140 min. The removal efficiency and distribution coefficient have also been determined for the adsorption system as a function of dosage of the adsorbent. The experimental results are described by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. Experimental results show that the kinetic model of pseudo-second order provided a good description of the whole experimental data more than the kinetic of the Lagergren-first order.

Plasma technology application in textile assignment.Md. Nazrul Islam
Plasma technology can be used to modify textile surfaces through physical and chemical mechanisms. Physically, ion bombardment changes surface topography and increases roughness and adhesion. Chemically, reactive free radicals generated by plasma decrease activation energy for chemical reactions, allowing for material removal. Plasma treatment can improve properties like mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, hydrophilicity, dyeability, printability, and adhesion. It can also introduce desired functional groups and deposit coatings. Plasma activation of textile surfaces has wide applications including softening, shrink resistance, antistatic finishes, dyeing, bonding, water/oil repellency, sizing removal, antimicrobial finishes, and more.

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.

All results found that MgO nano powder and Fe2O3 provide a fairly high dye adsorption capacity, which combined with their fulfilment of pollution control board’s standards, lack of pollution, lower environmental hazard and low-cost makes them promising for future applications. The present work also provides information on optimum value of different operating parameter for dye removal by two adsorbent.
Removal of Harmful Textile Dye Congo Red from Aqueous Solution Using Chitosan...IJERA Editor
Color is an important aspect of human life. Textile industries are the major consumers of dye stuffs. During coloration process, 10 to 15 percent of the dyes will be lost and this will be discharged with the effluents coming from textile industries. These are very difficult to degrade and they may degrade to form products that are highly toxic to human. Today, methods such as coagulation, flocculation, activated carbon adsorption, etc. are available for the removal of dyes. These are all quite expensive and difficult to degrade. Chitosan is a natural hetero polymer derived from chitin. Chitosan has proved to be effective in removing hazardous compounds from environment due to its multiple functional groups. It is available as flakes and powder. In the present work, chitosan beads were prepared and modified with a cationic surfactant CTAB for the removal of dye Congo Red. Batch experiments were conducted to study the effect of CTAB concentration, contact time, agitation speed, adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration and pH. Batch equilibrium data were analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm. Bach kinetic data were analyzed using Pseudo first order kinetic model and pseudo second order kinetic model.
Kinetics and Thermodynamic Studies of Adsorption of Methylene Blue from Aqueo...IOSRJAC
:In the present study, Paliurus spina-christi Mill. Frutis and Seeds (PSCFS) was used as an adsorbent for the investigation of the adsorption kinetics and thermodynamic parameters of methyleneblue (MB) from aqueous solution at various temperatures and concentrations. Six kinetic models, the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, intra-particle diffusion, Elovich, Bangham and Avrami equations were used to predict the adsorption rate constants. It was found that the kinetics of the adsorption of MB onto PSCFS at different operating conditions was the best described by the pseudo-second-order model. The rate parameters of the other kinetic models for adsorption were also evaluated and compared to identify the adsorption mechanisms. The equilibrium constants were used to calculate thermodynamic parameters, such as the change of free energy, enthalpy and entropy. Thermodynamic analysis showed that adsorption was favourable and spontaneous, endothermic physical adsorption and increased disorder and randomness at the solid-solution interface of MB onto PSCFS

The result indicated that jack fruit leaf ash could be fruitfully employed as low cost adsorbent for the removal of mixture of two basic dyes MB and MG from the wastewater.
Comparative Study for Adsorptive Removal of Coralene Blue BGFS Dye from Aqueo...IJERA Editor
Textile industries represent biggest impact on the environment due to high water consumption and waste water discharge as government control water pollution by setting strength regulation for waste water discharge, removal of color from waste water becomes more and more essential and attractive. Adsorption technology is very efficient in treatment of textile effluent. In this paper comparison of adsorption phenomena of textile dye Anthraquinone blue onto two different adsorbents MgO nano powder and Fe2O3 amorphous powder has been studied for removal of said dye from aqueous solutions. The adsorption of Anthraquinone blue on adsorbents occurs by studying the effects of adsorbent amount, dye concentration, contact time and pH of solution. All results found that MgO nano powder and Fe2O3 provide a fairly high dye adsorption capacity, which combined with their fulfilment of pollution control board’s standards, lack of pollution, lower environmental hazard and low-cost makes them promising for future applications. The present work also provides information on optimum value of different operating parameter for dye removal by two adsorbent.
Removal of Harmful Textile Dye Congo Red from Aqueous Solution Using Chitosan...IJERA Editor
Color is an important aspect of human life. Textile industries are the major consumers of dye stuffs. During coloration process, 10 to 15 percent of the dyes will be lost and this will be discharged with the effluents coming from textile industries. These are very difficult to degrade and they may degrade to form products that are highly toxic to human. Today, methods such as coagulation, flocculation, activated carbon adsorption, etc. are available for the removal of dyes. These are all quite expensive and difficult to degrade. Chitosan is a natural hetero polymer derived from chitin. Chitosan has proved to be effective in removing hazardous compounds from environment due to its multiple functional groups. It is available as flakes and powder. In the present work, chitosan beads were prepared and modified with a cationic surfactant CTAB for the removal of dye Congo Red. Batch experiments were conducted to study the effect of CTAB concentration, contact time, agitation speed, adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration and pH. Batch equilibrium data were analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm. Bach kinetic data were analyzed using Pseudo first order kinetic model and pseudo second order kinetic model.
Kinetics and Thermodynamic Studies of Adsorption of Methylene Blue from Aqueo...IOSRJAC
:In the present study, Paliurus spina-christi Mill. Frutis and Seeds (PSCFS) was used as an adsorbent for the investigation of the adsorption kinetics and thermodynamic parameters of methyleneblue (MB) from aqueous solution at various temperatures and concentrations. Six kinetic models, the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, intra-particle diffusion, Elovich, Bangham and Avrami equations were used to predict the adsorption rate constants. It was found that the kinetics of the adsorption of MB onto PSCFS at different operating conditions was the best described by the pseudo-second-order model. The rate parameters of the other kinetic models for adsorption were also evaluated and compared to identify the adsorption mechanisms. The equilibrium constants were used to calculate thermodynamic parameters, such as the change of free energy, enthalpy and entropy. Thermodynamic analysis showed that adsorption was favourable and spontaneous, endothermic physical adsorption and increased disorder and randomness at the solid-solution interface of MB onto PSCFS

Adsorption Studies on The Removal of Reactive Red Dye from Aqueous Solution U...IJLT EMAS
The increase in the use of dyes in industries has caused
major problems in the treatment of the industrial effluent. The
need to create economically and ecologically sound solutions to
this problem has been investigated here. Bio-adsorbent chitosan
has shown very promising characteristics in this field. A
comparative study of adsorption of aqueous Reactive red dye
solution on non-cross linked chitosan beads and ECH cross
linked chitosan beads was conducted using batch operations. The
extent of adsorption was tested against parameters of time,
adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration, rpm and pH. Cross
linked beads were found to be more efficient than normal beads.
ECH cross linked chitosan beads are visibly more rigid than
chitosan beads and they have high stability in acidic medium
compared to chitosan beads which disintegrate in acidic medium.
A higher initial concentration of dye and pH of 3 was found to be
favorable for adsorption. Complete removal of dye was achieved
at 3 hours for a dye solution of 100ppm at pH 3. Kinetic rate
studies established that the pseudo-second order kinetics was
most suited to the adsorption of reactive red onto chitosan beads
The Freundlich isotherm was in agreement with the experimental
data.

11.[30 39]sorption kinetics for dye removal from aqueous solution using natur...Alexander Decker
This document discusses a study on the kinetics of adsorption of Congo red dye onto natural clay. The researchers investigated how experimental variables like agitation, initial dye concentration, clay mass, and clay particle size affect the external mass transfer coefficient. They found that the mass transfer coefficient increases with agitation and clay mass/surface area, but decreases with initial dye concentration and clay particle size. The mass transfer coefficient could be correlated to these variables using the equation kf = A(variable)B. The results indicate the rate of dye removal is affected by factors that influence the mass transfer process.
SOLVENT EXTRACTION AND ADSORPTION TECHNIQUE FOR THE TREATMENT OF PESTICIDE EF...civej
Solvent extraction and adsorption techniques are effective methods for the removal of pesticides like DDT
and Dicofol from the waste water. Study was conducted using 3 different solvents- Ethylene dichloride
(EDC), Monochlorobenzene (MCB) and Hexane to optimise parameters like effluent to solvent ratio,
agitation speed, agitation time and settling time to attain maximum removal of pesticides by solvent
extraction process. MCB was found to be the best solvent when compared to other two solvents using the
optimised parameters. The activated carbon (8 x30) is an effective adsorbent for the removal of DDT and
Dicofol. The material have good adsorptive capacity and follows Freundlich model. The optimum
adsorbent dose was observed as 2 gm/100ml and optimum contact time needed to reach the equilibrium
was observed as 3 hr. Column study was conducted with the synthetic effluent after solvent extraction.
Combination of solvent extraction process and adsorption technique was very effective for the removal of
Dicofol and DDT with an efficiency of 99 % and 97 % respectively.
In this work, membrane based activated carbon have been studied, and because of the large surface area and, consequently, adsorption of pores, has a wide use for purification of liquids or gases in its entirety. The basic idea is the refinement of the technological expertise of obtaining organic resin composite membranes - activated carbon with porosity characteristics typical of type UF membranes. The membranes were prepared with 40% vol. epoxy resin and 60% vol. Commercial activated carbon micro and mesoporous MADECARBO®, crude, evaluating three types of solvents (toluene, ethyl acetate and ethanol). Physical characterizations such as density Archimedes demonstrated an apparent porosity of 47% - 70% for raw coal and 49% - 62% for dry coal. The microstructure of the specimens was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy, indicating good homogeneity of the resin-carbon interaction for both formulations with raw coal, and for dry coal. The flow tests were conducted in a test cell to tubular membranes that simulates parallel flow type filter. As for the flow, the formulation with the lowest result of this property was a coal dry amid ethyl acetate. As for the raw coal, the lowest flow was obtained from the coal of the same nature, but amid absolute ethyl alcohol. From the results, it was concluded that this type of media is strongly influenced by the process for obtaining the formulation and, consequently, the microstructure of the specimens, plays an important role for the type of filtration obtained.
This document summarizes research on removing acidic dye from water using modified kaolinite clay. It discusses the history and types of dyes. The study examines removing Congo Red dye, a toxic acidic dye, using modified kaolinite clay. Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of initial dye concentration, contact time, and amount of adsorbent on removal efficiency. Adsorption isotherms were also analyzed. Results showed over 95% removal was achieved under optimal conditions, with adsorption following Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The conclusion is that modified kaolinite clay is a promising adsorbent for wastewater treatment.
This document summarizes research on troubleshooting and improving the performance of an activated sludge process for treating textile wastewater. The textile wastewater has high levels of biological and chemical oxygen demand that can deplete dissolved oxygen if discharged untreated. The researchers identified issues in the aeration tank such as poor sludge settling. They suggest adding biopolymers to improve settling and modifying the secondary clarifier. Sodium bisulfate used in printing was negatively impacting bacteria; replacing it with acetic acid improved efficiency. Adjusting air distribution across the aeration tanks also enhanced performance. With these changes, chemical oxygen demand removal increased from 75-83% and sludge settling improved.

Dynamic and Equilibrium Studies on the sorption of Basic dye (Basic Brown 4) onto Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes Prepared from Renewable Carbon Precursors
The impact of flow rate and bed height on the adsorption behavior of methylene blue, Bismarck brown y, and indigo dyes on to Cedrus libani was investigated. The biomass was characterized by scanning electron microscopy as well as Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy before and after adsorption to ascertain the functional groups responsible for the adsorption. The amount of dye adsorbed per unit mass of the biomass (qe) was calculated and was found to be dependent on the variables investigated within the experimental range. It was discovered that increase in bed height and flow rate increased the value of the dye adsorbed on to the biomass. The results obtained show that methylene blue dye adsorbed more onto the biomass, while indigo dye adsorbed at the least level.

A study in terms of proximate, elemental and fatty acid contents of (Hura crepitans) seed was investigated using standard analytical techniques. The results of proximate composition in % were as follows: moisture 12.82 ± 0.01, crude protein 24.76 ±0.04, crude fibre 10.15 ± 0.03, fat 10.68 ± 0.01, ash 3.16 ± 0.02 and carbohydrate 34.75 ± 0.05. The elemental composition of the seed showed Na, K, Ca and Mg in mg/100g to be 6.00 ± 0.01, 123.00 ± 0.02, 10.40 ± 0.03, 112.00 ± 0.01 respectively while other elements determined in mg/kg were Fe and Zn with 7.10 ±0.04 and 2.60± 0.01. The (%) free fatty acid compositions of the seed oil were as follows: lauric (1.310 ±0.015), palmitic (0.389 ±0.012), palmitoleic (1.211 ±0.013), stearic (2.436 ± 0.004), oleic (6.138 ±0.003), linoleic (8.625 ±0.001) and linolenic (2.469 ± 0.102). The results revealed linoleic and oleic acids to be the most common in terms of abundance while palmitic acid was the least. The seed of Hura crepitans could be described as a good food because it contained significant amount of essential nutrients required by man.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability.

Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.

Abstract— The present article deals with the removal of
two basic dyes MB and MG [i.e. methylene blue and
malachite green] from a solution mixture using Rice Husk
Ash, an agricultural waste. MB and MG are most
commonly used dyes in textile industries and removal of
two dyes with higher concentrations from the solution
mixture is a typical attempt to solve the real life problem
on dye removal. The effects of bed depth, influent
concentration, flow rate, pH of the influent solution on
breakthrough curve were investigated. Thomas, Yoon-
Nelson, Adamas-Bohart and Bed Depth Service Time
[BDST] model were used to validate the adsorption
performance and breakthrough curves. The removal of
dyes at different flow rate [5, 7.5, 10, 12.5 ml/min], bed
depths (6, 8, 10 cm), influent concentrations [170, 190,
200, 240 mg/L] and pH value [5.1, 7, 9.2] using Rice
Husk Ash as an adsorbent were studied. The experimental
results indicated that percentage adsorption of dyes
increased with decreasing flow rate, increasing bed depth
and lowering of influent concentration. The results
further revealed that the percentage removal of dyes in
the mixture was 99 %.Adams-Bohart and Thomas model
were performed well than the other two models in use.
Keywords— adsorption, breakthrough curve, methylene
blue, malachite green, models, rice husk ash.
I. INTRODUCTION
Dye manufacturing industries and many other industries
using dyes and pigments generate liquid wastes, are
characteristically high in color and organic content.
Presently, it was estimated about 10000 of different dyes,
pigments exist commercially, and over 7x105
tones are
produced annually worldwide [1].
Dyes are widely used in industries such as textile, rubber,
paper, plastic, cosmetic etc. Among these various
industries, textile rank first in usage of dyes for coloration
of fiber. The conventional wastewater treatments that rely
on aerobic biodegradation have low removal efficiency
for reactive and other anionic soluble dyes [2]. Hence,
conventional biological treatment processes are not found
to be much effective in treating dye wastewater.
Adsorption process is one of the most effective methods
for removal of dyes from the effluent, which has a distinct
edge over other methods due to its sludge free clean
operation and complete removal of dyes, even from the
diluted solution. Activated carbon is most widely used
adsorbent because of its excellent adsorption efficiency
for the organic compounds. However, commercially
available activated carbon is very expensive. Furthermore,
regeneration using solution produced small additional
effluent while regeneration by refractory technique results
in a 10-15% loss of adsorbents and its uptake capacity [3].
This had led to further studies for cheaper substitutes for
the adsorbents. Nowadays, there are numerous numbers
of low cost commercially available adsorbents, which are
being used for the dye removal. The most widely used
adsorbents for this purpose were orange and banana peels
[4], neem leafs and other agricultural wastes [5]. Rice
husk ash [RHA] is one of such low cost adsorbents, which
is available as waste material in the agricultural fields in
rural India. Rice husk ash contains abundant floristic
fiber, protein and some functional groups such as
carboxyl, hydroxyl etc., which make adsorption process
possible [6].
The aim of the study is to develop a cost-effective
technology for adsorption of dye solution, which is a
mixture of two most commonly used basic dyes viz.
Methylene Blue [MB] and Malachite Green [MG] in
textile industries. The real life problem of removing color
from textile effluent containing mixture of basic dyes has
been addressed in this study. The objectives of the present
work can be stated as to investigate the effects of the
initial pH, flow rate, influent concentration and bed depth
on adsorptive removal of mixture of two basic dyes viz.
MB and MG in locally available rice husk ash [RHA]
packed column. Thomas, BDST, Yoon-Nelson and
Adamas-Bohart models are used to predict the
performance.

II. MATERIAL AND METHODS
2.1 Adsorbent
The Rice Husk was collected locally and was burnt in the
muffle furnace near 5500
C, washed a few times with
distilled water, dried for 8 hours at 600
C in the oven. The
ash was sieved through 600 micron and retained by 300
micron and finally was used for column studies.
2.2 Adsorbate
Malachite green [A.R. Grade, purity>96%] and
Methylene blue (A.R. Grade, purity >95%) were procured
from local market and used as received. The two dyes are
mixed in equal proportion (1:1) to make the dye solution.
2.3 Adsorption experiments
Continuous adsorption of dyes in mixed solution of
methylene blue and malachite green dyes was studied
using a fixed bed acrylic column with internal diameter of
50 cm and single sampling point at the bottom. The
adsorbent was packed over the glass beads and glass wool
to ensure uniform inflow through the column. The mixed
dye solution was introduced from the top to the bottom of
the column using a peristaltic pump at desired flow rate.
The experiment was carried out by passing the dyes
solution through the column packed with RHA with
controlled flow rate. The experimental observations were
noted operating the column at steady state under different
conditions.
III. COLUMN ADSORPTION MODEL
The performance of a packed bed is obtained through the
concept of breakthrough curve. The time for breakthrough
appearance and the shape of the breakthrough curve are
important characteristics for determining the operation
and dynamic response of an adsorption column.
Moreover, successful design of an adsorption column
requires prediction of the concentration-time profile from
breakthrough curve for the effluent discharged from the
column [(7]. In many cases, kinetics of adsorption in
column has been tested for Adams-Bohart model.
However, it has also been shown that BDST, Thomas and
Yoon-Nelson models can sometimes provide a better
description of the adsorption kinetics. So in this study, an
attempt has been made to find out the best model
describing the adsorption kinetics in the column studied.
3.1 Thomas Model
The Thomas model is one of the most general and widely
used methods in studying the performance of a
continuous column operation. The expression by Thomas
for an adsorption column (8) is given as follows:
𝐶 𝑡
𝐶0
=
1
1+exp{KTH(q0x−C0Veff)/v}
------------------ (1)
where, Ct is the effluent dye concentration [mg/L], C0 is
the initial dye concentration [mg/L], x is the mass of the
used adsorbent [g], Veff is the effluent volume [mL], v is
the flow rate (mLmin-1
), kTH is the Thomas rate constant,
and q0 is the maximum dye adsorption capacity of the
adsorbate (mg/g), which is calculated from the plot of
ln[(Ct/C0)-1] versus t.
3.2 Yoon-Nelson Model
The linear form of Yoon-Nelson model [9] is:
ln[𝐶𝑡 (𝐶0 − 𝐶𝑡)⁄ ] = KYNt − TKYN---------------- (2)
where, KYN is Yoon-Nelson constant, T is the time
required for 50 % adsorbate breakthrough and t is the
sampling time. A plot of ln [Ct/(C0-Ct)] versus t gives
straight line curve with a slope of KYN and intercept of
TKYN. Based upon the obtained value of T, the adsorption
capacity, q0YN was determined using:
𝑄0𝑌𝑁 = 𝑞(𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙)/𝑋 -------------------- (3)
Adsorption capacity (q0YN) related to Yoon-Nelson varies
as inlet dye concentration [C0], flow rate [Q], 50%
breakthrough time derived from Yoon-Nelson equation
and weight of adsorbent [X].
3.3 Bed Depth Service Time Model
The BDST model relates the service time of a fixed bed
with the height of adsorbent in the bed, hence with its
quantity, as its quantity is directly proportional to the bed
height. The measurement of sorbent quantity is more
precise than the determination of the respective volume,
especially for the case of granules. Therefore, sorbent
quantity is being preferably used, instead of the bed
height. The linear form of BDST model [10] is:
t=
𝑁0
𝐶0 𝐹𝑍
− 1/𝐾𝑎 𝐶0 ln[𝐶0/(𝐶𝑡 − 1)] ------------ (4)
where, t is the service time [min], N0 is the adsorption
capacity [mg/g], F is the superficial liquid velocity
[cm/min], Z is the height of column [cm], and Ka is the
rate constant of adsorption (L/min/mg) at time t. A plot of
t versus bed depth Z, should yield a straight line where N0
and Ka, the adsorption capacity and rate constant
respectively, can be evaluated. Application of the BDST
model requires specification of the breakthrough time,
which was selected arbitrarily in this work as the time
corresponding to Ct/C0 ratio is varying from 0.1 to 0.4.
3.4 Adams-Bohart Model
Adams-Bohart established the fundamental equations that
describe the relationship between Ct/C0 and time in an
open system for the adsorption of dye solution of mixture
of MB and MG onto RHA. The model proposed assumes
that the adsorption rate is proportional to both the residual
capacity of the RHA and the concentration of the sorbing
species. Assuming certain conditions, the linear form of

IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
4.1 Effect of bed depth on breakthrough curve
Accumulation of two basic dyes in aqueous solution MB
and MG in the packed bed column is largely dependent
on the quantity of sorbent inside the column. In order to
yield different bed heights, 4.165, 6.723 and 8.126 gm of
RHA were added to produce the desired height of 6, 8 and
10 cm respectively.
Fig 4.1 shows the breakthrough curve obtained by varying
the bed heights for different RHA between 6 cm, 8cm and
10 cm, at flow rate [q0] of 10 ml/min and at a fixed
influent concentration [C0] of 170mg/L. Similar approach
was made with other influent concentrations also. The
time required for the effluent to reach breakthrough
concentration increased with increase in the bed depth.
The increase in adsorption with bed depth may be
attributed to the increase in adsorptive binding sites of the
adsorbent. Although an increasing bed depth increases
breakthrough time, very high bed depth is not useful for
single column. The shape and gradient of the
breakthrough curves were slightly different with the
variable bed depth. As the bed height increases in the
order of 6 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm the curves change their
profile from steep concave to flatter concave [12].
Fig.4.1 Effect of bed height (at 4, 6 and 8cm) on
adsorptive removal of methylene blue and malachite
green onto RHA (at C0= 170mg/L q0= 10mL/min)
4.2 Effect of flow rate on breakthrough curve
Fig. 4.2 shows the breakthrough profile for the adsorption
of mixed dye solution of methylene blue and malachite
green in the continuous flow fixed bed with RHA at room
temperature. The flow rate was varied from 7.0 mL/min
to 14 mL/min while the inlet concentration and bed depth
of the solution was held constant at 200 mg/L and 6 cm
respectively. When the adsorption zone moves upwards
and upper edge of this zone reaches the top of the column,
the effluent concentration has started to rise rapidly. This
point is called breakthrough point. Using a smaller flow
rate, the front of the adsorption zone reaches the top of the
column later, thereby giving higher breakthrough time.
An increase in the flow rate appears to increase the
sharpness of the breakthrough curve. As the flow rate
through the bed increases, the depth of the adsorption
zone increases and the time of contact of the solution with
adsorption zone decreases [13].
Fig.4.2 Effect of flow rate (at 7, 10, 12 and 14mL/min) on
adsorptive removal of methylene blue and malachite
green onto RHA [at C0= 200mg/L, H= 6cm]
4.3Effect of initial dye concentration on breakthrough
curve
Fig. 4.3 shows the breakthrough profile for the adsorption
of methylene blue and malachite green in dye solution in
the continuous flow fixed bed with RHA at different
influent concentrations at room temperature. The influent
concentration was varied from 170 mg/l to 240 mg/l,
while the bed depth of the column and influent flow rate
were held constant at 6 cm and 10 mL/min respectively.
The similar approach was taken for bed height 8 cm and
10 cm respectively. It was illustrated that the
breakthrough time deceased with increasing influent dye
concentration. At lower concentrations, breakthrough
curves were dispersed and breakthrough occurred slower.
As influent concentration increased, sharper breakthrough
curve were obtained. These results demonstrated that the
concentration gradient affects the saturation rate and
breakthrough time. This can be explained by the fact that
more adsorption sites were being converted and utilized
as the dye concentration increased. The larger the influent
concentration the steeper is the slope of breakthrough
curve and smaller is the breakthrough time. As the
influent concentration increases, dye loading rate
increases, so does the driving force increases for mass
transfer, which results in a decrease in the adsorption
zone length [14].

and 240mg/L] on adsorptive removal of methylene blue
and malachite green onto RHA [at H=6cm, q0=
10mL/min]
4.4 Effect of pH on breakthrough curve
The pH is regarded as a critical parameter in the
adsorption process since it controls the uptake mechanism
of the adsorbate as well as influences the adsorption sites
on the solid surface. In the present study, the pH of the
dye solution was taken as 5.1, 7.0 and 9.2 by using pH
capsules into the solution while the bed depth and
concentration were restricted at 8 cm and 200 mg/L
respectively. The figure 4.4 shows that the adsorption
increased as the pH value increased. This was due to the
fact that in basic solution [pH=9.2] the adsorption of
cationic dyes was favoured due to presence of negatively
charged sites on the adsorbent surface, resulting in the
electrostatic forces between groups and positively charged
dye molecules. On the other hand, in acidic solution (pH
= 5.1) the adsorption of dyes was retarded due to sorption
competition between hydrogen ions (H+
) and dye
molecules for occupancy of the active sites (15).
Fig.4.4: Effect of pH (at 5.1, 7.0 and 9.2) on the
adsorptive removal of methylene blue and malachite
green onto RHA (at H= 8cm, C0= 200mg/L).
4.5 Data fitting to Thomas Model
The data obtained from the experiment were filled to the
Thomas model using equation (1). From the analysis, it
can be concluded that all of the factors viz. the inlet
concentration, bed depth, flow rate, pH influence the
Thomas rate constant [KTH] and the equilibrium of mixed
dyes uptake [q0]. The inlet concentration, bed depth, flow
rate and pH of the influent dye solution of MB and MG
influences the KTH and q0 as given in the Table -1. From
the above table it is obvious that when concentration was
increased from 190 mg/L to 200 mg/L for a bed depth of
6 cm, q0 increased from 13.82 to 14.09 and KTH decreased
from 0.126 to 0.125. Similarly, for the same inlet
concentration for a bed depth of 10cm the KTH value
decreased from 0.084 to 0.042 where as q0 increased from
18.01 to 18.14.
When the bed height was maintained at 6 and 10 cm, the
KTH value was decreased as 0.126, 0.084 and q0 increased
as 13.82, to 18.01respectively for inlet concentration of
190 mg/L. In another set of experimental result where bed
depth was varied successively at 6 and 10 cm, the KTH
value was obtained as 0.0.125 and 0.042 respectively, for
a concentration of 200 mg/L. The corresponding values
for q0 increased with the increase in bed depth were
14.09, and 18.14 respectively.
When the flow rate increased from 7.0 mL/min, to 14
mL/min, the KTH value increased from 0.105 to 0.265 and
corresponding values for q0 increased from 12.11 to
16.34.
When the pH of the inlet concentration increased from 5.1
to 9.2, the kTH values were 0.165, 0.192 and0.205
respectively whereas, uptake q0 decreased as 24.26, 20.17
and 18.44 respectively. The R2
value for over all reactions
varied 0.915 to 0.986 indicated that Thomas model
described the experiment well.
4.6 Data fitting to Bed Depth Service Time [BDST]
Model
The constants, N0 and K0 of BDST model at different
conditions were evaluated using linear regression analysis
and the linear plot of this model is given in Table-3. The
trend of K0 and N0 could be determined from the values
presented in the table. As Ct/C0 value increased, the value
of K0 and N0 were found to be decreased. The R2
value
for overall reactions varied from 0.7 to 0.75 indicated that
this model cannot describe the experimental run well.
4.7 Data fitting to Yoon-Nelson Model
Different parameters of the Yoon-Nelson model can be
determined by using linear regression analysis. The
equation of straight line was used to determine the rate
velocity constant (KYN) and time (T) required to achieve
50% breakthrough. From the Table-2, the effect of
influent concentration, bed depth, flow variation and
variation of initial pH of the mixed dyes solution over the
model parameters were studied. When the concentration

constant bed depth of 6 cm, the values of KYN increased
from 0.016 to 0.027 and those of T decreased from 40.69
to 34.88.Similarly, for bed depth of 8 cm, when the
concentration increased from 170 to 240 mg/L, the values
of KYN increased from 0.014 to 0.023 and those of T
decreased from 91.12 to 48.65.
With the increase in bed depth for a fixed influent
concentration there was no significant change for the
values of KYN and T.
With the increase in flow rate from 7.0 to 10, 12, and 14
mL/min, KYN increased from 0.040 to 0.046, 0.056 and
0.064 respectively and the values of T increased from
53.11 to 57.10, 57.78 and 58.23 respectively.
With the increase of pH of the inlet concentration from
5.1 to 9.2, there was no significant effect on KYN value. T
value increased slightly with the increasing pH of the
solution. The linear regression coefficient (R2
) in all cases
was around 0.76 which indicated that this model cannot
be used to explain the overall kinetics explicitly in the
column adsorption.
4.8 Data fitting to Adams-Bohart Model
A plot of ln (Ct/C0) against time (t) was used to calculate
the values of N0 and KAB. The Table-4 the different model
parameters like bed depth, concentration of initial
adsorbate concentrations, flow rate of solution dyes and
the pH of the solution were studied. From the table it
indicated that with the increase in influent concentration
from 200 to 240 mg/L at bed depth of 8 cm, KAB
increased from 0.040 to 0.050 whereas the values of
uptake (N0) decreased from 0.09 to 0.006. Similar trend
on parametric values was also observed for a bed depth of
10cm
The effects of bed depth over the reaction constant KAB
and uptake N0 was investigated and was shown in the
Table. With the increase in bed depth, the reaction
constant (KAB) increased while the uptake (N0) decreased.
The effect of flow rate over the reaction constant (KAB)
and the uptake value (N0) was depicted in the Table-3. As
the flow rate increased from 7.0 to 14 mL/min, the values
of KAB and N0 increased.
The effect of pH of the inlet solution was studied. The
reaction constant (KAB) decreased and uptake (N0)
increased when pH increased from 5.1 to 9.2. The R2
value for over all reactions more than 0.9 indicated that
Adams-Bohart model described the experiment well.

V. CONCLUSION
The present study confirmed that the abundant
agricultural waste product rice husk ash could be used as
an alternative to commercial activated carbon for the
removal of two basic dyes MB and MG from aqueous
mixture. The breakthrough curve (Ct/C0 vs. t) for various
parameters viz. flow rate, initial concentrations of two
dyes in solution, bed heights of the adsorbent, and pH of
the dyes in initial solution was plotted. The breakthrough
time and exhaust time decreased with increasing flow
rate, increases with increasing bed height and pH value of
the concentration. The breakthrough time and exhaust
time decreased with increasing initial dye concentration.
These variations can be accounted for by the fact that for
lower flow rate and higher bed depth, the contact time is
longer and hence the interaction between adsorbate and
adsorbent is greater. The experimental data were fitted to
Thomas, Adams-Bohart, Yoon-Nelson, and BDST
models. The maximum adsorption capacity related to
BDST model was found to be 774.18 mg/l at initial
concentration (C0) 200mg/L, flow rate (q0) 10 mL/min,
and bed height (H) 10 cm. The investigation showed that
the Thomas model and Adams- Bohart model were more
effectively applicable than other two models for their
higher R2
value.
