Adsorption of direct dye on cross-linked chitosan fiber: Breakthrough curve

Abstract
The recovery of direct dye by adsorption on cross-linked fiber (ChF-B), which we have developed, appeared technically feasible. The concentration of amino group fixed in the adsorbent phase was 3.30 mol/kg dry fiber. A typical direct dye, Brilliant Yellow (M.W.=625, divalent anion) was used in this experimental study. The breakthrough curves for adsorption of the dye were measured for different flow rates, bed heights, influent concentrations of the dye, and temperatures. The experimental breakthrough curves showed that ChF-B recovered the dye efficiently even from the hot dye solution. Axial dispersion coefficient Ez (m2/s) in fibrous bed was measured and the following correlation for the dispersion coefficient was obtained:
