Removal of Indigo Carmine Dye from Aqueous Solution Using Magnesium Hydroxide as an Adsorbent

Abstract: Magnesium hydroxide is used as an adsorbent for the removal of indigo carmine dye from aqueous solution. We have investigated the effectiveness of removal of indigo carmine dye from aqueous solutions at pH 6-7 and 12-13 using magnesium hydroxide thereby varying the dose of the adsorbent, concentration of the dye, duration, and temperature. Structural transformations of adsorbent during the adsorption process at different pH values are monitored using powder X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. Differen… Show more

“…Adsorption is commonly used for removal of IC. Several researchers have extensively tried different sorbent materials such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide‐modified TiO 2 nanoparticles, activated carbon doped with biogenic manganese oxides, weak base anion exchanger Amberlite FPA51, magnesium hydroxide, Ni‐nanoscale oxides/ Schoenoplectus acutus composite, microwave‐treated activated carbon from peanut shells for effective removal of IC.…”

“…Sadly, about 15% of the total world production of dyes is lost during the dyeing process and is released in the textile effluents (Jose et al 2013); hence, the growing need to protect the environment from these harmful chemicals. Over the years, a lot of techniques were used to treat the textile wastewater and solve the problem of industrial effluents, such as biological treatment (Agostina et al 2014), adsorption (Ramesh and Sreenivasa 2015), ozonation (Ahao et al 2006), coagulation-flocculation (Guibal and Roussy 2007) and membrane filtration (Goksen and Yetis 2006). These methods are rather costly and little efficient (Mollah et al 2004).…”

“…Formed Mg(OH) 2 also acts as an adsorbent for removal of dye. There are few reports on Mg(OH) 2 as an adsorbent [34,35]. Also, it makes the strong H bond with dye molecules which leads to a strong adsorption.…”
