Abstract:This study investigated the removal of a typical organic pollutant methylene blue (MB) dye from wastewater by a prepared mesoporous SBA-15 adsorbent in a continuous adsorption system (fixed-bed column). The structural and textural properties of the SBA-15 adsorbent were determined using different characterization techniques. The adsorption of continuous system experiments assessed the bed height effect, initial concentration, and flow rate on a breakthrough curve. The kinetic constants and breakthrough curves … Show more
