Abstract
Adsorption of tartrazine yellow food dye, in a fixed-bed column, was carried out using a single system, a binary system (in the presence of sunset yellow food dye), and in a real effluent provides from an ice cream industry. Chitosan was used to coat sand particles by the dip-coating technique, and these particles were applied in fixed-bed adsorption. The assays were performed in flow rates of 3 mL min−1 and 5 mL min−1. The best performance was reached at 3 mL min−1. In this flow rate, for single and binary systems, the breakthrough time was 95 min and 65 min, and the maximum capacity of the column was around 595 mg g−1 and 497 mg g−1, respectively. In the assay conducted with the real effluent, the breakthrough time was 10 min, and the maximum adsorption capacity of the column was reduced to 191 mg g−1 for tartrazine dye. The dynamic models of Thomas and Yoon-Nelson were used, and both were suitable to represent the breakthrough curves.
