ABSTRACT:

Treatment of dyes from wastewater is obligatory in order to avoid water pollution. Batch adsoprtion studies were carried out to evaluate the potentiality of ba-gases. Various parameters such as initial dye concentration, pH as well as temperature of the system were studied. The adsorption was found to fallow first order kinetics and intraparticle difussion is the date controlling step. The adsorption data indicates that the process is sponatenous and exothermic in nature. Langmuir adsorption isotherms was found to be well suited for the system, which shows monolayer adsorption.
