Abstract

Clays are considered important natural materials in the field of water purification, including bauxite clay (BAU) and its prepared and activated composite (BAU/CMC-AC) with carboxymethyl cellulose polymer. The ad-sorbent surfaces are characterized by FTIR and XRD techniques. The adsorp-tion of green janus (JG) from an aqueous solution with bauxite and its compo-site were studied under the influence of different conditions of the weight and size of adsorbed surface particles, contact time and temperature. The results were found to be: contact time (90, 45) min for maximum quantity adsorbed of (JG) dye on bauxite and its composite respectively. The experimental data were tested on pseudo 1st- and 2nd-order kinetic models. It was shown to apply more with the pseudo-2nd order kinetic model for both adsorbents. It also showed that the highest removal percentage were (78%, 88.5 %) for the bauxite surface and its composite (BAU, BAU/CMC-AC) at the preferred temperature
