Magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes-loaded alginate for treatment of industrial dye manufacturing effluent: adsorption modelling and process optimisation by central composite face-central design

Ali Azari et al.

Summary: In this study, the removal of dye ADMI from raw textile wastewater was investigated using magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes-loaded alginate. The key factors, including pH, adsorbent dose, and contact time, were optimized using response surface methodology-based central composite face-centred design. The adsorbents were characterized using various techniques. The developed model fit well with the experimental data, and under the optimized conditions, a high removal efficiency and ADMI adsorption capacity were achieved. The adsorption process was found to be monolayer and chemical in nature. The adsorption mechanism could be explained by the presence of negatively charged carboxyl and hydroxyl groups on the surface of the adsorbent.

Seyed Yaser Hashemi et al.

Summary: This study developed a method to catalytically oxidize and degrade Ceftriaxone (CTX) from aqueous solution using the heterogeneous system O-3/UV/Fe3O4@TiO(2). Through optimization of operational parameters, high removal efficiency of CTX and reduction of total organic carbon (TOC) were achieved. The reuse potential of Fe3O4@TiO2 was proven with high removal efficiency of CTX and TOC after six consecutive catalyst uses. OH degrees played a major role in the photocatalytic degradation of CTX. Integration of O-3/UV/Fe3O4@TiO(2) demonstrated excellent CTX removal performance and can be considered a promising technique for decontamination of polluted waters.

Summary: In this study, a methodology based on Fuzzy AHP-TOPSIS was proposed to select the best colour treatment process using carbon-based adsorbent materials. The criteria for decision making, including cost, safety, accessibility, reuse, and adsorption capacity, were prioritized based on the experts' opinions. The performance of eight carbon-based adsorbent materials in colour removal was evaluated using the Fuzzy TOPSIS decision matrix. Furthermore, the key factors in the treatment of real textile wastewater using PAC were investigated and optimized. The findings indicate that colour adsorption using PAC is feasible, spontaneous, and endothermic.
