N2 - Chitin has the ability to adsorb substantial quantities of dyestuffs from aqueous solutions. Consequently, it may be a useful adsorbent for effluent treatment from textile mills. The design procedures for batch and continuous fixed bed adsorption columns have been investigated for four dyestuffs, namely, CI Acid Blue 25 (Telon Blue Anl, Bayer), CI Acid Blue 158 (Neolan Blue 29, Ciba Geigy) CI Mordant Yellow 5 (Eriochrome Flavine A, Ciba Geigy), and CI Dirert Red 84 (Solophenyl Brown 3RL, Ciba Geigy). The main fixed bed system variables studied are bed height, dye flow rate, and chitin particle size, and these effects have been incorporated into a simplified design model.
