Abstract

By employing two distinct kinds of slag-based geopolymers to remove the colour from the liquid wastes of reactive red 195, we were able to cleanse the water created by reactive dye dyeing processes and lower pollution rates. The decolorization- affecting variables were optimized in accordance with a variety of parameters, including the amount of dye used, the treatment time, the pH of the solution, and the amount of adsorbents employed.
