Abstract

The sorption of Basic Blue 69 and Acid Blue 25 dyes onto biosorbents (wood and peat) in a batch adsorber has been studied. A model has been developed for the design of a two-stage batch adsorber. The model has been optimized with respect to contact time in order to minimize total contact time to achieve a fixed percentage of Basic Blue 69 and Acid Blue 25 dyes removal.
