Abstract
Several conventional methods are employed to remove cationic dyes from waste water. A novel technique based on liquid/liquid extraction using reverse micelles is proposed whereby recovery of solvent and reuse of dye is possible. Single component batch experimental studies were carried out using two dyes, namely Basic red 9 (BR9) and basic violet 3 (BV3). Glycolipids produced naturally using Pseudozyma antarctica from soybean oil medium were used as surfactant. Extraction efficiency of single component system of each dye was investigated by using amyl alcohol as solvent and sulphuric acid as carrier. The process parameters such as dye concentration, sulphuric acid concentration and surfactant concentration on the extraction efficiency were optimized using Box-Behnken design. The optimum conditions were calculated by using Derringer’s desirably.
