Comparison of the efficiency of activated carbon and neutral polymeric adsorbent in removal of chromium complex dye from aqueous solutions

Dye Waste Treatment

“…The results revealed that some tyre carbons exhibited a more superior performance than a microporous, commercial activated carbon. A comparative study on the adsorption of chromium complex dye onto activated carbon and neutral polymeric adsorbent Macronet (MN 200) showed that the effectiveness of MN 200 for dye removal was higher than that of activated carbon [80]. The preparation of TiO 2 -loaded activated carbon fiber (TiO 2 /ACF) hybrids through a dip-coating method was conducted [81].…”

Calcium hydroxyapatite microfibrillated cellulose composite as a potential adsorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution

“…It is a carcinogenic and mutagenic to living organisms, which modifies the DNA transcription process causing important chromosomal aberrations [4,5] and can also cause lung cancer, as well as kidney, liver and gastric damage [6]. For these reasons, Cr (VI) has been placed on the top of the priority list of toxic pollutants by the U.S. EPA, that has mandated a maximum acceptable Cr(VI) concentration of 50 µg/L in potable water [7].…”

Magnetic Mineral Nanocomposite Sorbents for Wastewater Treatment

“…Activated carbon is the traditional and most commonly used sorbent for water treatment. However, the high cost of activated carbon calls into question the prospects of its use for the treatment of sewage [7].…”
