Optimization of the experimental parameters in the treatment of textile effluents (INDIGO) by adsorption

Abstract

The presence of micro-pollutants organic, inorganic and organometallic in effluents produced in the processes of the dye and/or the textile ennoblement establishes a major-problem in the procedure.

During this study, we treated the textile effluents (indigo) by the method of adsorption, by using powder activated charcoal (PAC) as a substratum. This was taken from the values obtained during the experimental studies and it was the way we were able to optimize this treatment process by the adsorption by basing itself on the software NEMRODW.

The objective of our work consists of studying the influence of the experimental parameters (pH, temperature, the support mass and time) on the capacity of eliminating a coloring agent of tank which is the Indigo. The optimization of these parameters by the software indicated previously allowed us to determine the optimal conditions for a better treatment.
