Adsorption of Reactive Blue 4 (RB4) onto Rice Husk in Aqueous Solution [ READ ]
Subir Chowdhury, Tapan Kumar Saha
Now is the era of development in science and technology and along with those developments environment pollution is one of the major problem we have to face especially in textile and dying sectors, where huge amount of various dye stuff is used. Untreated disposal of such dye contaminated water creates environmental problem in nature. Rice husk can be used as a natural adsorbent to remove those harmful dye stuff from aqueous solution. This study showed that Reactive Blue 4 (RB4) which is widely used in dying industry as blue color can be removed remarkably by Rice Husk. Adsorption method which is very cost effective was used in the process. The adsorption process was endothermic in nature and it was spontaneous. The experimental results showed that the whole process was favorable and Rice Husk is really a useful natural low cost adsorebent.
