Topic: CONGO RED (CR) REMOVAL FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION BY COMMERCIAL AND LABORATORY PREPARED LOW COST ADSORBENTS

USING ADSORPTION Speaker: GHANSHYAM BARMAN (608CH104) Date and time:


The above specided seminar was based on the Adsorption of Congo red Dye from aqueous solution. Approximately 10,000 different dyes and pigments are used by industries and about 7x105 tons of dyes are annually produced worldwide.these dyes in effluents causes disturbance to ecological system of receiving waters which may cause organ damage,mutagenic or carcinogenic response in mammals due to which it has to removed frrom the effleunt before discharging it to water body.In industry many methods were adopted to treat it like oxidation, flocculation ,adsorption etc.But adsorption provides an attractive alternative treatment, especially if the adsorbent is inexpensive and readily available.In above study Congo Red dye was studied on diffrent type of adsorbents. The experimental data were analyzed using the statistical software, Minitab 13.4 .From the experimental data it was shown that the congo red dye was adsorbed on laboratory produced low cost asorbents efficiently.
