Decolorization of multicomponent dye-laden wastewater by modified waste fly ash: a parametric analysis for an anionic and cationic combination of dyes.

In this research study, waste fly ash (WFA) underwent acid activation and subsequent amine functionalization using ammonia solution. This treatment improves the porosity, thermal tendency and crystallinity of WFA. Modified WFA was tested under different experimental conditions to treat the wastewater consisting of different concentrations of cationic (methylene blue and rhodamine 6G) and anionic (methyl orange) dyes.
