The adsorption of methyl orange dye from aqueous solution was investigated with active carbon powder as sorbents. Effects of selected factors were studied through the use of L16 (44) orthogonal experiment for the optimal parameter. The results demonstrated that the orders of their influences were contact time > initial dye concentration > the dosage of active carbon powder > pH. It was then concluded that contact time must be given priority in removing methyl orange dye from wastewater. Under the optimum conditions (the dosage 10g, time70min, initial dye concentration 35mg/L, pH7), The active carbon powder possessed good adsorption capacity to methyl orange which the removal efficiency could reached 95.96%.
This study investigated the treatment of methyl orange dye from aqueous solution with granular activated carbon as sorbents. Adsorption experiments were carried out at different contact time, the dosage of granular activated carbon, pH and initial dye concentration.Orthogonal experiment was designed to analyze the influence degree of operating parameters for optimizing adsorption process. The results demonstrated that the dosage of granular activated carbon had the greatest impact on the removal efficiency of methyl orange , followed by pH, contact time and initial concentration of methyl orange . The granular activated carbon possessed good adsorption capacity to methyl orange which the removal efficiency could reached 98.06% at the optimum dosage 4g and optimum time 90min.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
