Comparison Study of Removing Dye from Aqueous Solution Using Triton X-100, Triton X-114 and Egg Shells

Abstract

A surfactant cloud-point extraction (CPT) process using two different non-ionic surfactants, Triton x-100 and Triton x-114.And adsorption process on egg husk to remove Bromo cresol green dye from aqueous solution have been studied comparatively. The effects of surfactant and dye concentration , pH ,temperature as well as salt and for the adsorption process of egg husk ,the effects of dye concentration, pH , adsorbent dose , temperature and incubation time have been studied .The optimum conditions were obtained for the removal of Bromo cresol green dye. The results showed that up to 60 ppm of Bromo cresol green can quantitatively be removed (97%) by cloud-point extraction process with triton x-100 and (99.3%) with triton x-114 and (95%) by adsorption process with egg husk.
