Abstract
In this present study, rubber seed-coated activated carbon (RSCAC) was used as a natural adsorbent to remove basic (MB), acid (MR) and reactive (RBV) dyes using batch process. Each dye in the adsorption process was tested at different initial concentration from 50-500 mg/l. Different dyes showed different percentage removals. The highest removal was recorded by MB which was up to 99.9 %. The experimental data was analyzed with Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models. The data fitted well with Langmuir. The adsorption capacity were 332.99, 210.33 and 155.37 mg/g for MB, MR and RBV, respectively.
