Survey dataset on the performance of combined process of coagulation and ceramic membrane for the removal of reactive black19

The aim of data article was to evaluate effectiveness of the combined process of coagulation, flocculation and filtration to remove reactive black 19 from solution aqueous. In this data article, alum and ferric chloride were selected as a coagulant for instability of color before ceramic membrane. All experiments were performed in batch conditions. The results showed that more than half of the ceramic membrane is made of silica. The BET surface area of the ceramic membrane was 1.877 m2 g−1. The size of RB19, alum, and ferric chloride was 996.2 mm, 1216 mm, and 86.26 mm, respectively. Also, the zeta potential of RB19, alum, and ferric chloride was 20.7 mV, 1.59 mV, and 34.7 mV, respectively. The findings showed that the best pH to remove the RB 19 by alum and ferric chloride was less than 7. With increasing concentrations of alum and chlorine ferric the removal of RB 19 increased. For RB19 concentration of 10 mg l−1, with increasing time from 5 to 15 min, the removal efficiency for alum and ferric were 61–63% and 82–87%, respectively.

Data
In this data article, alum and ferric chloride coagulants as pretreatment step had been suggested to reduce reactive black (RB) color before further treated by ceramic membrane process. The study, RB 19 investigated.

Experimental design, materials, and methods
All experiments were performed in batch conditions. The main variables were investigated such as pH, color concentration, coagulation concentration, mixing speed, filtration time. In this data article, the coagulations of alum and ferric chloride were used as coagulant. The final concentration of RB 19 was determined by a spectrophotometer (UV-vis, 594 nm). At first for color measurement, calibration curves were drawn (Y ¼ 44.603, R 2 ¼ 0.9993). Fig. 1 shows used pilot for removal of RB 19. In the Jar-Test, the volume of color solution was 500 ml. Rapid mix speed and contact time were 120 rpm and   Table 1 shows the constituent elements of the ceramic membrane. More than half of the membrane is made of silica (SiO 2 $ 57%). Fig. 2 shows X-ray diffraction analysis of ceramic membrane. The BET surface area of the ceramic membrane was 1.877 m 2 g À 1 . Some properties of the ceramic membrane is shown Table 2. To examine for the morphology of ceramic membrane and flock on the filter, scanning electron microscopy was used. The size of RB19, alum, and ferric chloride was 996.2, 1216, and 86.26 mm, respectively. To measure the surface charge density of the particles, zeta potential test was used. The zeta potential of RB19, alum, and ferric chloride was 20.7, 1.59, and 34.7 mV, respectively. To verify the existence of different functional groups present in RB19 and the ceramic membrane. The FTIR analysis was carried out in the wavelengths 600-3500 cm À 1 . Functional groups in the ceramic membrane were C-S (630-790 cm À 1 ), C ¼ S (1000-1250 cm À 1 ), C ¼ N (1610-1680 cm À 1 ), C ¼ C (2100-2250 cm À 1 ), C-H (3000-3100 cm À 1 ), and O-H (3100-3650 cm À 1 ). Fig. 3 shows the performance of two coagulants at different pH values. The findings showed that the best pH to remove the RB 19 by alum as coagulant was less than 7. At pH ¼ 7, the color removal was almost 85%. Fig. 4 shows the results of removal of colors with different dosage of alum and chlorine ferric coagulants. The results showed that with increasing concentrations of chlorine ferric the removal efficiency of RB19 increased. The highest removal efficiency of color was Table 2 Some properties of ceramic membrane for nitrogen adsorption-desorption experiments at 77 k.
