This study explores the potential of using boiler ash, a byproduct of biomass combustion, for the removal of Reafix Yellow B8G dye from wastewater. The textile industry in Brazil generates significant volumes of dye-contaminated effluents, posing environmental challenges due to the dyes' high solubility and resistance to biodegradation. Reafix Yellow B8G, an azo dye, is particularly harmful to aquatic ecosystems, necessitating effective treatment methods.
The research focuses on the adsorption kinetics of the dye when using boiler ash as an adsorbent. By mixing a dye solution with the ash under controlled conditions, the study evaluated how effectively the dye could be removed over time. Results showed that the adsorption process reaches equilibrium within 30 minutes, achieving a 100% removal rate. This rapid adsorption makes boiler ash a promising, low-cost material for treating dye-laden effluents.
The study's findings align with the principles of the circular economy, emphasizing the reuse of industrial byproducts like boiler ash for environmental remediation. Using this waste material not only reduces disposal challenges but also provides an effective way to address pollution from textile dyes. This approach could be an environmentally sustainable option for managing industrial wastewater, reducing the impact on aquatic life, and supporting sustainable production practices.
