REMOVAL OF REACTIVE DYE WITH FLY ASH ADSORPTION
Abstract
The efectiveness of fly ash in adsorbing Chemactive D Black N from aqueous solutions has been studied as a function adsorbent dosage and initial dye concentration. The Langmuir adsorption ishoterm were found more suitable than Freundlich isotherm. The adsorption capacity Q o was 6.75 mg/g at natural initial pH (pH = 5.40). The removal ratio of dye respectively founded % 100, % 98, % 98, % 82.5, % 66.31 at 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 mg/L initial dye concentration.
