Color removal of monoazo acid dye from aqueous solution by adsorption and chemical coagulation

  • Published:
Environmental Engineering and Policy

Abstract

This communication presents the results of an investigation conducted on color removal from a monoazo acid dye, C.I. Acid Red 88, by adsorption onto coal based sorbents like Lignite coal, Charfines and Bituminous coal and F-400 Activated carbon and by chemical coagulation employing Aluminum sulfate, Ferric chloride, Manganese sulfate, Manganese chloride and Barium chloride.
