Abstract: This work deals with investigation of effectiveness of adsorption and coagulation on removal of color of simulated acid dye solutions. Dye stuff belonging to acid group is employed and batch tests were conducted with three coagulants (Calcium hydroxide, Ferric sulphate and Aluminium chloride) to access feasibility and also to study the optimum values for coagulant dosage, RPM, pH and time. The study clearly indicates that dye effluent responds effectively to Ferric sulphate. The removal is probably due to physicochemical mechanism of coagulation and flocculation and/or chelating complexation type reactions and color removal at lower pH ranges may be either due to physicochemical coagulation or chelating complex formation reactions. The study clearly indicates that there is significant reduction in the chemical dosage requirements and in some cases a further increase in color removal. From the above studies it may be concluded that some of the Acid dye stuffs are suitable for their color removal using various coagulants. In this study we have used commercial carbon as well as activated carbon prepared from sawdust (agriculture waste), and performed the same experiment by varying the variables (coagulant dosage, RPM, pH and time), the studies shows that in the process of coagulation the percentage color removal is more than when compared to that of adsorption.
