Sorption Process Using Polyamide Nanofibres to Remove Dye from Simulated Wastewater (original) (raw)

The aim of this study was to examine the use of polyamide 6 nanofibers as a sorbent material for removal of dye on textile wastewater. Simulated wastewater of acid dyes (namely Colour Index Acid blue 41, Acid yellow 42 and C.I Acid blue 78) was used for experiment test with simulated concentration of 10 mg L -1 , for sorption process electrospun polyamide 6 with areal weight 12 g m -2 was used as the sorbent material and the process was performed under vacuum pressure. The experiments were realised in temperatures 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60°C. The experimental result showed that the presented study on polyamide 6 nanofibers has a great potential to be used for dye removal, since it was able to absorb dye at room temperature.
