Ultrasonically assisted removal of Congo Red, Phloxine B and Fast green FCF in ternary mixture using novel nanocomposite following their simultaneous analysis by derivative spectrophotometry
Abstract
Simultaneous removal of acidic dyes in aqueous ternary system was investigated. Activated carbon modified with CuS/ZnS-NCs exhibited high efficiencies for dyes removal. High removal efficiency (>99.0%) were obtained for all dyes. Optimization of various variables was done CCD of the RSM using STATISTICA 10.0. CuS/ZnS-NCs-AC showed excellent capacity (>70mgg‑1) for dyes from simulated as well as industrial wastewater.
