Removal of brilliant red HE-3B reactive dye using ion exchange celluloses

The ability of ion exchange celluloses to remove reactive dyes from aqueous solutions was investigated. The thermodynamic sorption of the Brilliant Re d HE-3B reactive dye on ion exchange celluloses was studied using Langmuir isothermals equations at different temperatures. Other adsorption parameter s studied were: initial dye concentration pH of the solution treatment time , temperature and type of celluloses. The results show that ion exchange ce lluloses exhibit better capacity for the reactive dye than some types of io n exchange resin do.
