E. Karadag et al., REMOVAL OF SOME CATIONIC DYES FROM AQUEOUS-SOLUTIONS BY ACRYLAMIDE ITACONIC ACID HYDROGELS/, Water, air and soil pollution, 106(3-4), 1998, pp. 369-378
Acrylamide/itaconic acid (AAm/IA) hydrogels prepared by irradiating wi
th gamma radiating were used in experiments on the uptake of some cati
onic dyes such as basic red 5 (BR-5), basic violet 3 (BV-3) and brilli
ant cresyl blue (BCB). The removal of the cationic dyes to AAm/IA hyro
gels is studied by batch adsorption technique. In the experiments of t
he adsorption, L3 type (Langmiur) adsorption in Giles classification s
ystem was found. Adsorption studies indicated that monolayer coverages
of AAm/IA hydrogel by these dyes were increased with following order;
BCB > BR-5 > BV-3.
