Discharge of colored effluents without decoloration originated from textile industries may cause serious problems in the receiving environments. In this study, natural materials that are basaltic tephra and clinoptilolite were used to remove various dyestuffs used in the textile industry. Those materials are cheap and available in large quantities in Turkey. The investigation of adsorption of basic, acidic and reactive dyes on these materials is the objective of this study. During preliminary experiments it was seen that adsorption equilibrium was reached in about 2 days. In adsorption experiments, in order to obtain adsorption isotherms, a fixed amount of adsorbent and 100 mL dye solutions of different concentrations were placed in glass bottles which were shaken at 200 rpm and 25±2oC for 2 days. Then, samples were filtered and the equilibrium concentrations of dyestuffs in the solutions were determined by using spectrophotometer at appropriate wavelength corresponding to the maximum absorbency. After equilibrium concentrations of the solutions were obtained, Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm constants were calculated for the adsorbents used in this study. The removal efficiencies for cationic basic dyes are higher than those for anionic acidic and reactive dyes with the natural materials. Therefore, modification of surface properties of natural materials with a cationic surfactant was considered to increase the removal efficiencies of those for anionic dyes. After modification of the surface properties, adsorption capacities of adsorbents for anionic dyes were higher than those of natural materials. Finally, the adsorption capacity of activated carbon for the same dyes was determined to compare with that of natural and modified materials. The results showed that the adsorption of dyes on adsorbents used in this study fitted nicely the Langmuir Isotherm

A chemical substitution study for a wet processing textile mill in Turkey
Öztürk, Ertan; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi; Department of Environmental Engineering (2007)
The main environmental concern in the textile industry is about the amount of water discharged and the chemical load it carries. The total quantity of chemicals used in textile mills varies from 10% to over 100% of the weight of the cloth produced. Many chemicals currently used in the textile industry affect the amount and the type of waste produced and their influence the aquatic life of the receiving stream. One of the critical steps in pollution prevention studies is auditing the use of chemicals and mak...
Use of clinoptilolite for copper and nickel removel from aqueous solutions
Çağın, Volkan; İmamoğlu, İpek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2006)
Heavy metals are well known toxic priority pollutants. Hence, wastewaters containing these species must be treated prior to discharge into receiving bodies. In this study, the potential of Bigadiç clinoptilolite for Cu2+ and Ni2+ removal from wastewaters was investigated in batch and continuous reactors. Results of the preliminary experiments revealed the optimum operating conditions, namely, initial solution pH of 5 and 4 for Cu2+ and Ni2+, respectively and contact time of 48 hours. Additionally, condition...
Oxidation off acid red 151 solutions by peroxone(o3/h2o2) process
Acar, Ebru; Adalı, Orhan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2004)
Wastewaters from textile industry contain organic dyes, which cannot be easily treated by biological methods. Therefore, pretreatment by an advanced oxidation process (AOP) is needed in order to produce more readily biodegradable compounds and to remove color and chemical oxygen demand (COD) simultaneously. In this research, ozone (O3) is combined with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for the advanced oxidation of an azo dye solution, namely aqueous solution of Acid Red 151, which is called as أPeroxone processؤ. T...
Recovery of sericin protein from silk processing wastewaters by membrane technology
Aygün, Saniye Seylan; Geçit, M. Ruşen; Department of Engineering Sciences (2008)
Cocoon cooking wastewaters (CW) and silk degumming wastewaters (SDW) of silk processing industry were treated by membrane processes for sericin recovery. CW contains only sericin while SDW contains both sericin and soap. Sericin in CW had four molecular weight (MW) fractions; 175-200 kDa (Sericin-1), 70-90 kDa (Sericin-2), 30-40 kDa (Sericin-3) and 10-25 kDa (Sericin-4). Two alternative process trains were developed for CW; 1. centrifugation + microfiltration + nanofiltration + precipitation, 2. centrifugat...
Treatability and toxicity of nonylphenol compounds in anaerobic batch reactors
Bozkurt, Hande; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2011)
Nonylphenol (NP) and its ethoxylates are used in formulation of pesticides and detergents, production of personal care products and many industrial sectors such as textile, metal plating, plastic, paper and energy. They are also used in the formulation of household cleaning agents. Industrial uses in the production line make up 55% of the total use; whereas industrial and domestic cleaning processes constitute 30 and 15%, respectively. Since they are widely used in industry and households, NP compounds ente...
