Abstract
The ability of several adsorbents to adsorb dyes from solution has been studied and the relative costs of dye removal are reported based on adsorption capacity only. The application of the results to batch scale commercial systems has been discussed. A detailed study of the adsorption of Telon Blue dye on carbon has been undertaken using fixed beds and the data correlated into a design model using the bed depth service time (BDST) method of analysis.
