Removal of Textile Dye using Carbon Nanotubes as an Adsorbent in Fixed Bed Column

In this present study, we used Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) as an adsorbent for the removal of Acid Blue dye. MWNTs are synthesized from Rosmarinus officinalis oil as a Non-conventional precursor on to Fe/Mo catalyst supported on silica at 50 °C under N2 atmosphere by spray pyrolysis process. The efficiency of the CNT has been detected by the Fixed Bed Column Adsorption studies with various parameters like initial dye concentration, different flow rate and bed height. The down-fow column adsorption technique is used to assessing the stability of the chosen adsorbent for desigh purpose. The Bed Depth Service Time (BDST), Thomas and Yoon-Nelson Models were applied for the analysis of Acid Blue dye adsorption in the column.
