Abstract

This study included investigation of the adsorption of a number of azo dyes (β-naphthol with aniline and some of its
substations).(H,o-NO2,p-NO2 ,m-NO2 ,o-CH3 , m-OH , o-OH ,p-OH) and the effect of substitute in the dye on the
percentage ratio of adsorption in addition to the effect of concentration , temperature and pH of the medium.
The adsorption equilibrium constant is determined from the ratio between the adsorbed and the un adsorbed dyes . The
study was conducted at different temperatures with in the range (10-60)C°.
This study showed that the optimum condition of adsorption are, concentration arrange (4*10-5
- 1*10-5
)M, and pH
range (3.1-3.7) with a best time for reaching equilibrium is (70) min. with a shaking speed (40)rps.
The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH, ΔG, and ΔS) are calculated . The values of (ΔH)concluded that the process of
adsorption of the dyes on activated carbon is exothermic and physical in nature . The negative values of (ΔG) show that
the adsorption process of the dyes is spontaneous in most cases. The (ΔS)values are not affected within the studied
temperature range but are changed with varying the type and position of the substitutions.
The data collected are applied to adsorption isotherm models of Freundlich and Longmuir which show that both models
are correlated satisfactory.
Overall results reveal that the inter and intra molecular hydrogen bonding ,other attracting forces , resonance ,inductive
effect and steric factor have great influence on the adsorption efficiency

Edge Detection in Gray Images using Wavelet Transform

Pages: 290-296 Arabic

Full Text Issues

Abstract

In this research, wavelets (which was commonly used for image compression with signal and data processing at
advanced levels in multimedia) was a doubted for edge detection by applying using the Mallet wavelet an algorithm
on different images such as Monaliza and Lena .we used number of scales and applied in MATLAB ,we found when
the large numbers of coefficients that lead to narrow edge and small noise and vase visa , the following notes were
mentioned:
 No need for smoothing operation or pre operations for noise, because it has roperty of Multi Resolution analysis,
which give it the ability to detect the edges and treat the noise at the same time.
 The wavelet function reduces the high frequencies information of the image, which works on edge detection, while
the scale function will absorbes the noise from the image.
 The low frequencies information of the image assigned, and high scale has more effect for noise removing and the
edge’s width.
 Also for more filter parameters a high effect is noticed on noise cancellation in additing to making the edges narrows
and vise versa
