Abstract

With the increased amount of use of color in textile industries, there is a need to effectively treat waste water containing dyes. The kinetic study is followed to the second order model. The isotherm model obeys Freundlich model and the adsorption capacity was found to be 6.49 mg/g. The present adsorbent is considered as an alternative adsorbent for the better performance of the Rhodamine 6G from contaminated waters.
