Abstract

The effects of several variables on the initial rate of Astrazone Blue (Basic) dye removal have been investigated. The surface mass transfer coefficients have been determined and correlated as the dimensionless mass transfer term Sh/Sc0.33, as a function of agitation, initial dye concentration, silica particle size and temperature.
