ELIMINATION OF REACTIVE BLUE 250 DYE FROM TEXTILE EFFLUENTS BY USING MGO NANOPARTICLES

Abstract

Decoloration of textile effluents is an environmental problem. This study deals with the application of MgO nanoparticle for the elimination of Reactive Blue 250 from wastewater of textile industry. MgO nanoparticle were synthesized by Co-precipitation method of and characterization is done by FT-IR and XRD. The adsorption pattern of these magnesium oxide nanoparticles was studied in batch experiments setup for the elimination of Reactive Blue 250 synthetic dye from textile effluent. It was evaluated that optimum dose of adsorbent is 0.35g, optimum shaking speed is 200rpm, 90 minutes is the optimum contact time of adsorbent with dye solution and optimum pH is 7 for this adsorption setup. The adsorption data obtained from batch setup was then applied to adsorption isotherms and it was observed that data is well fitted to the Langmuir and Fruendlich isotherms which shows the feasibility of adsorption phenomenon
