Transport of reactive X‐3B dye at the interface between cationic surfactant‐modified water‐quenched blast furnace slag and aqueous solution

Abstract There is an emerging interest in the utilization of low‐cost industrial wastes in sustainable pollution control. This study investigated the use of water‐quenched blast furnace slag modified by cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide as a low‐cost adsorbent for the removal of reactive brilliant red X‐3B from an aqueous solution. The results showed that the removal efficiency increased with an increasing slag dosage and an appropriate dosage …
