DYEOXY® + DYESORB®

Integrated oxidation and adsorption for dye-contaminated industrial wastewater

Advanced Dye Treatment

Oxidize dissolved pollutants / Capture the remaining color

DYEOXY® and DYESORB® form an integrated treatment platform for reducing dyes, color and associated organic pollution in industrial water and wastewater.

The process combines two complementary technologies. DYEOXY® is a crystalline advanced-oxidation product intended to generate sulfate and hydroxyl radicals, which attack complex dye molecules and other oxidizable organics. DYESORB® is a porous, zinc-based adsorber designed to capture residual cationic and anionic dyes and provide final color polishing. The products may be incorporated into oxidation, adsorption and polishing stages selected according to wastewater composition and discharge or reuse requirements.

Advanced oxidation / Selective adsorption

DYEOXY DYESORB Introduction

One integrated process.
Multiple color-intensive industries.

DYEOXY® and DYESORB® can be configured for wastewater decolorization, organic-load reduction and final polishing. Treatment must be validated using representative wastewater because dye chemistry varies significantly between industries.

Textile and Dyeing Wastewater

Decolorization and COD reduction for textile manufacturing and dyeing effluent.

Leather and Tannery Effluent

Treatment of complex organic dyes and wastewater from tanning and finishing processes.

Pulp, Paper and Printing

Color removal and organic pollutant management for paper-mill and printing wastewater.

Plastic and Pigment Manufacturing

Advanced oxidation and adsorption polishing for pigment and polymer production waste.

Food and Beverage Color Removal

Polishing and color reduction in food processing and beverage manufacturing effluent.

Industrial Water Reuse

Advanced treatment supporting closed-loop industrial water recovery and reuse.

Four treatment functions working as one platform

DS

Porous dye adsorption

DYESORB® provides a porous granular surface for capturing dissolved colorants and selected organic compounds from industrial wastewater.

SO₄•⁻

Sulfate-radical oxidation

Activated DYEOXY® chemistry is described as producing sulfate radicals that attack chromophoric structures and other oxidizable organic molecules.

HO•

Complementary hydroxyl-radical activity

Hydroxyl radicals provide an additional oxidation pathway, supporting the breakdown of a broad range of organic structures under suitable reaction conditions.

CP

Final effluent polishing

Following oxidation, DYESORB® can capture residual dyes, color-bearing intermediates and other adsorbable organics before discharge, reuse or further treatment.

Advanced oxidation followed by selective adsorption

The DYEOXY® + DYESORB® process combines contaminant destruction with physical capture to address both dissolved dye molecules and residual oxidation products.

  • Radical Generation – Under validated activation conditions, DYEOXY® is intended to generate sulfate radicals and hydroxyl radicals capable of attacking electron-rich structures within organic dye molecules.
  • Chromophore Breakdown – Radical oxidation disrupts the molecular structures responsible for visible color. Decolorization, however, does not automatically confirm complete mineralization or detoxification.
  • Selective Dye Adsorption – DYESORB® is described as a zinc-based porous framework capable of adsorbing cationic and anionic dyes, although affinity and capacity vary by molecule.
  • Adsorption Polishing – The fixed-bed DYESORB® stage captures residual color and adsorbable organic matter after oxidation, helping improve final treated-water quality.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Essential information about DYEOXY®, DYESORB® and integrated dye-wastewater treatment.

Contact Support
What are DYEOXY® and DYESORB®?
DYEOXY® is an advanced-oxidation product for degrading oxidizable dye molecules and organics. DYESORB® is a granular adsorber intended to capture dissolved dyes, color and selected organic compounds.
Why are both products used together?
Oxidation breaks down complex dye structures, while adsorption captures residual dyes and adsorbable oxidation products. Combining the processes can provide more complete treatment than either stage alone.
Which industries can use the process?
Potential applications include textile dyeing, leather processing, pulp and paper, printing, plastics, pigments, food colorants and industrial water reuse.
Can the system remove every type of dye?
No universal guarantee should be made. Dye removal depends on molecular structure, charge, concentration, solubility, pH and the presence of competing organic matter.
How does DYEOXY® work?
Under suitable activation conditions, it is described as producing sulfate and hydroxyl radicals that attack organic dye molecules and reduce visible color.
Does decolorization mean the wastewater is completely treated?
No. A water sample may become colorless while retaining COD, TOC, oxidation intermediates or toxicity. Final water quality requires analytical verification.
What is the published DYEOXY® dose?
The brochure lists 10–50 g/m³. This is a reference range; the correct dose must be determined through bench or pilot testing.
Can the process operate at neutral pH?
The brochure presents a test example at pH 7. Performance at natural pH depends on the wastewater matrix, oxidant activation method and target pollutants.
What is the published DYESORB® capacity?
The brochure reports approximately 60 mg/g for Methylene Blue. This value should not be applied to other dyes without testing.
Can DYESORB® treat cationic and anionic dyes?
The brochure describes potential adsorption of both groups. However, capacity and affinity will differ according to dye charge, molecular size, pH and competing substances.
Can DYESORB® be regenerated and reused?
The brochure reports oxidizer-assisted dye release, but full capacity recovery and long-term cycle life are not established. Regeneration should be validated for the selected dye and water matrix.
What happens to spent media or regeneration liquid?
Both must be characterized for dyes, organic intermediates, zinc and other contaminants. Treatment or disposal must comply with local wastewater and waste-management regulations.
