The adsorption process was carried out as a function of varying parameters, such as agitation time (20-180 min), adsorbent dosage (0.05-0.6 g of adsorbent/50 mL dye solution), initial dye concentration (6-50 mg/L), pH (2-12) and solution temperature (303.15-323.15 K). Maximum dye adsorption was observed under 150 min of agitation time, 0.25 g of adsorbent/50 mL dye solution, 6 mg/L of dye solution and at pH 4 for 99% removal of dye, whereas a removal efficiency of 90% was achieved at 30oC solution temperature. Adsorption isotherms were investigated and found that the data fitted well for Freundlich adsorption isotherm. Thermodynamic data reveal that the adsorption process is feasible and spontaneous as indicated from the negative value of Go.
