Removal of basic dye (methylene blue) from wastewaters utilizing beer brewery waste

Dye Waste Treatment

“…Results indicated that the removal of Methyl Orange (25 mg/L) was less than 50% by maize cobs modified with phosphorylation, 68% with 1,4-diaminobutane and 73% with diethylenetriamine. The removal of Methylene Blue from wastewater using beer brewery waste was performed [76]. Results of surface characterization showed that the pore properties of beer brewery waste were larger than those of its raw materials and it probably provided additional adsorption sites.…”

Biosorption of Basic Violet 5BN and Basic Green by waste brewery’s yeast from single and multicomponent systems

“…The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, total pore volume, and density functional theory pore size distribution were determined from nitrogen adsorption/ desorption isotherms measured at −194°C (boiling point of nitrogen gas at atmospheric pressure) by a Quantachrome Autosorb-I (Tsai et al 2008). The BET surface area, total pore volume, and mean pore radius were found to be 322 m 2 /g, 0.253 cm 2 /g, and 8.5×10 −10 m, respectively.…”

Comparison of methylene blue adsorption from aqueous solution using spent tea dust and raw coir pith

“…Contact of MB with skin causes irritation (Hamdaoui and Chiha, 2007). The studies on MB adsorption onto coir pith (Namasivayam et al, 2001), activated carbon (Shaobin et al, 2005), rice husk (Vadivelan and Vasanth Kumar, 2005), peanut hull (Renmin et al, 2005) KOH-activated and steam-activated carbons (Wu et al, 2005), pumice powder (Feryal, 2005), glass fibers (Sampa and Binay, 2005), coir pith carbon (Kavitha and Namasivayam, 2007), Pumpkin seed hull (Hameed and El-Khaiary, 2008), beer brewery waste (Tsai et al, 2008) have been reported.…”
